Help dataset owner to chose between configs and splits?

> Am I correct in assuming that if you specify a "config" in a dataset, only the given config is downloaded, but if you specify a split, all splits for that config are downloaded? I came across it when using facebook's belebele (https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/belebele). Instead of a config for each language, they use a split for each language, but that seems to mean that the full dataset is downloaded, even if you select just one language split.

For languages, we recommend using different configs, not splits.

Maybe we should also show a warning / open a PR/discussion? when a dataset contains more than 5 splits, hinting that it might be better to use configs?
