i would find this form a bad user experience. if there are that many form
elaments and i save part of the form and want to go back later how do i
know what i have filled in already and not filled in i think that
messages letting me jump back to the empty fields would be a big help are
you stuck on makeing this one page this form sounds like a nightmare to
fill out
