You're describing an unstructured single function.
There's a middle ground - sectioned code, esp. with code folding or similar commented sections. Good IDEs support such a feature so you can hide the code you think you understand to not look at it every time.
You will have to read this code at least once or trust the documentation and name. I found that in "mature" code the latter is a recipe for disaster and days of debugging.
