why are stream raids better than one huge raid?

stream way of bombing was historically used, also ai in game creates streams of bombers

but why is it better? I think a huge unique raid is harder to attack for defender's fighters

I give an example:

1940: I want to bomb london urban area by 150 bombers, I can send them all together in one raid, or split them in many raids one following the previous so having a stream.
Same example with more (or much more) than 150 bombers I could do with allied in 1943 against hamburg

in other words, I don't know in what instances I have to create raids by using "follow" in raid creation menu

if I would have to use stream way, how much time has to be between one raid and the next following?
