The files I need to read (and ultimately write) are custom format
files that come from a data acquisition system that has been

byte header followed by a stream of 16 bit integers. Total files
size may run from several hundred kilobytes to 1 or 2 gigabytes.
Given that the files will be the data spewed by the DAQ system, it is
unlikely that your application will need to write said files? That
is, the files containing the acquired data will be treated more like
something you import into your application and less like a true
document?
Given my assumption, then I would recommend sticking with a document
based application where each document is effectively a data analysis
"session". That is, an individual document may contain configuration
information or, even, data that has been imported. Then, add an
"import" menu item (or support drag and drop) such that your app can
import or accept the raw data files sourced from the DAQ system.
