With the CDs, it was just because the FMVs were too big to fit them all on one CD. Supposedly the actual game data is repeated on all 3 discs, with the remainder used to store FMVs. (which would explain why the PSN version is only about 1.2GB, or the size of 2 CDs) I actually remember asking that very question some time ago (I had a dream about a special edition of Milon's Secret Castle, where you had to buy more carts to unlock more of the castle  ). ... whether hot-swapping carts was possible (without risking crashing or even breaking the console) Would require disabling all interrupts (does turning off the screen stop the PPU from reading cart VRAM/CHR-ROM?) and running RAM-resident code to check when the cart is swapped (essentially stopping the game from accessing the cart port).
