No, there isn't a good way of navigating when it comes to that many scripts, and definitely no shortcuts yet. Though I can't be sure, it looks like you have a lot of events repeated belonging to actors of similar name. That usually indicates using inheritance might be a good idea, in which case you reduce almost all the modified actors' events to a single actor's events.

Your best bet would be to use multiple GED files then merge them all together before the final compile. You can keep things more organized that way. (Backup every ged before merging though o.o)

No, I'd have to disagree. The best way is to use inheritance and reuse actors when possible. Multiple geds cause all sorts of problems. gE isn't at the point where it can merge games very nicely, or port actors to other geds, so merging isn't very clean (design wise as well).
