Depends on your surface topology, desired precision and other things.

Surface reconstruction is a pretty difficult task and typically involves a lot of manual work. Only very few situations can be successfully automated.

In general, if you end up with multiple sub surfaces in T-Splines, either topology or curvature cannot be adequately approximated with a single surface. There might be other considerations involved in T-Splines  surface tessellation, but they tend to keep the number of sub surfaces at a minimum.
