Can you explain that? The subdomain can contain several zones, so what is
the goal putting them all together in one zonefile?

If it is a question of defining what a zone or a domain is, in "DNS & Bind"
from O'Reilley in chapter 2.4 it's defined like this:

"The difference between a zone and a domain is important, but subtle. All
top-level domains, and many domains at the second level and lower, like
berkeley.edu and hp.com, are broken into smaller, more manageable units by
delegation. These units are called zones."
