So would you suggest individual, separate mid and small cap index funds instead of the extended market index fund? This is under the assumption that I want to diversify through large, mid, and small cap domestic equities

You want to be diversified, but the expected return is related to the amount of small cap exposure you have. Plus you want to have fewer funds so that you have less turnover.

So I think the large fund and the small fund would work well. In fact, instead of using an S&P 500 fund, use a total stock market fund (which has less turnover and more small co exposure).
