I am a total amateur here. But I found it natural to keep a relative spacial coherence in the schematic, and have it somewhat similar on the PCB side.
Though kicad would just dump everything randomly when moving to thr PCB view. As I understand, "packing" should help keeping this spacial grouping.
There is a plugin though[1] that does place the components on the PCB similar as they are placed on the schematic (and this does work with sub-sheet too). This is tremendously helpful starting point.
