If I were to end up with quite a large hole, what would the bond

bond? After all, it can't expand when the screw is inserted into the
plug.

You may be able to screw straight into the filler, just drilling a pilot
hole, and not use a plug.

Don't know if you can still get them, but I have also had wall plug glue
sticks in the past. You pump hotmelt into your hole, then screw straight
into it. Seemed to work well on old flakey L&P walls.
