Like any other language, you have to divide it up into multiple files/functions and design the core architecture well for it to be neat.
You can also use the Clean Up VI tool to auto-organize the block diagram to make it neater. In general, if the VI dosen't clean up well with the clean tool, it's too complicated.

This. A lot of teams start out in labview, but don't learn any good practices or put any thought into organization. Then they get bigger and start coding more advanced features, but still have the same coding practices. It just ends up a mess.
That was my team last year, big and complicated code with no thought to organization. We ended up moving to c++ for other reasons, but some of it was making a clean break; allowing our programming team to break out of their bad habits and start thinking about organization.
