Sections are a good idea. I did my 3 car driveway & large
patio. I used the actual plastic edge product sold for pavers.
You may want to use a solider (stood up on edge) course of brick
instead of wood. (we live in a frost area)

Where do you live? Do you have freezing weather?

We built a 1100 sq ft brick patio this summer, and also did it in
sections. When we finished one section, we'd remove the screed pipes,
fill the groove with sand, tamp it, and move to the next section.
Worked great.

If you get freezes, wouldn't the frost heave push the boards back up?
