Hi,
Yes. This has always been the case. I have not used audible for the last two years. I was surprised that I could still sign into both my accounts, the second one last used about 4 yrs ago.
What also surprised me that "A Storm of Sword" was a single file compared with the original which was split into two parts, each with 3 separate files!

There is an exception to the repeat downloads - just like the iTunes Store, any audiobook that's no longer offered for purchase from Audible will not be available for re-download.
Jim's comment about the number of files depends, I believe, on the "audio quality" setting that's shown on your Library page of Audible's website - see http://www.audible.co.uk/audioformats for details. Looking at my recent purchases, with the "level 4" setting each book is served as two files:
but switching this to the "Enhanced" setting shows just one file per audiobook:
I'm not sure of the logic of this since the size of the "Enhanced" files will be larger (28.8MB per hour of audio compared to 14.4MB for Level 4) - so for the first example above Level 4 (which is what I use) gives two files that are around 80MB each, whereas Enhanced would, I assume, produce one 320MB file. Whatever the logic, that's the most likely explanation for variation in the number of files offered by the Audible library.
Thanks.
