If you ask a system design question, an algorithm question, a code structure and organization question, and some general questions about past work experience and how they'd handle certain scenarios, you get a pretty good coverage of a person's abilities I've found. While I agree a lot of software engineering is about managing large code bases, it isn't just that, I feel all aspects matter and come into play. And even code organization exist at different levels: in the small, in the medium and in the large. It's good to try and get an idea at all levels.
