30,000 pages of new content? Oooof! You must be one prolific author.

My input would be to consider a 'tree' arrangement, i.e. menued according to hierarchy and
carefully cross-linked by parallel relevance.

Think militarily for a moment. The CIC (president) is your index page.
Your 4-star generals are your main menus.
These should refer (link) to one another if not play golf together.

Your colonels, should do likewise, but go bowling and trade fried chicken recipes.

So on down the ranks until you reach the 'raw-assed recruits'.
Even they should only refer to related pages,
BUT all should refer back to
a) The president (main index page) -and-
b) The site-map page.

I cannot offer advice on the SITEMAP page. I suggest that it be relatively small.
referring to ranks above temporary lieutenant perhaps

Page rank is ordered differenly of course. - Larry
