I don't think I have any single album with multiple hundreds of
pictures; I tend to break them down into categories for easier
navigation.  In your instance, assuming a relatively even distribution
over 12 categories 650 pictures would come out to only 50-60 pictures
per category/album.  Since you can create nested sub-albums that
shouldn't be too much of a problem.

For example, here's my main URL:

us to 3 layers deep.  That trip ended up with 328 reasonably usable shots.
