ohhh, its one worker per domain, you cant have different ones that match on url? so you have to do that matching in your worker to run different code?

Note that Enterprise customers can have multiple scripts-per-domain, allowing you to run specify a specific script per route (or routes). Additional matching logic (e.g. headers, cookies, response codes) can then be done within the Worker itself.

Correct.
Hopefully that limitation can be relaxed over time. Having to stuff all my logic in one big script sounds a bit annoying. At minimum having access to a second worker script route would be welcome for testing/development purposes, so one doesn't muck up a working production script.

Keep in mind that you can write your code as a bunch of modules and then use a tool like webpack to bundle it into one script, before you upload it to Cloudflare.

I agree with this, we definitely plan to add better ways to test script changes. Currently there is the online preview that shows next to the code editor, but it's true that there are some limits to what you can test with it.
Enterprise customers are allowed to have multiple scripts mapped to different URL routes. This is mainly so that different teams owning different parts of the site don't step on each other. However, generally if you stuff your logic into one script rather than multiple, it will perform better, since that one script is more likely to be "hot" when needed.
