I routinely use keyfiles of between 1 and 5 MB in size, without which the encrypted file can't be opened, no matter WHAT password you enter.
The advantage of using both concurrently is that the file can't be opened without both, and neither has to be stored in proximity to the encrypted file. They can beat a password out of you if they beat hard enough - they can NEVER beat a 5 MB keyfile out of you. If the keyfile is not available, the encrypted file isn't going to be opened by anyone - the "owner" included.
So, let's say you encrypt the missile codes and grandma's proprietary peanut butter cookie recipe with a 3 MB keyfile AND a password, then send the keyfile to Upper Slumgullia, and wipe if from your local drive. You have the passphrase (in your head, of course - NEVER written down), the keyfile is on a hard drive in the back woods of Upper Slumgullia, and unless the two come together in the same place as the encrypted missile code and cookie recipe file, ain't NOBODY getting into it.
An encrypted file using only a 64 kb keyfile together with a long passphrase will likely never be cracked, but I'm big on overkill.
There's other stuff you can do to make it even tougher to get into...
