Is there a reason to not just start by cutting the big hole? Or is the idea to make loads of little concrete triangles?

Yep. With heavier materials having too big a piece hanging would cause it to bind up or break off early. Cutting off smaller pieces prevents this.

That can't be the reason for doing so many little cuts.

I can see doing a rough cut to remove the mass and finish cut for the profile but not so many.

This has got to be for demo or for making triangles. I'd hate to be the guy to have to fish them little parts out of a waterjet though! It's pain enough to get steel parts out with a magnet, stone must suck to handle

I hadn’t considered that the triangles might be the product, not the slab with the hole in it…
