I would say "almost never."  The only exception would be very small demo 
programs like the type found in the Java tutorial, where it often 
combines views, controllers and model data into one large class.

At a guess, around 300 lines of code or less.  Anything more than that 
is likely to be too large to be easily understood by anyone, and 
therefore isn't a useful demo, nor easy to maintain so it's not a viable 
professional work either.
