Sankoku marks おろち as uk and 雅. I'll split it out into a separate entry.

Yes, the meanings in the JEs are much the same. I think they split because the readings are from different sources - straight kango for だいじゃ and a very weird wago for おろち.

i don't see much of a case for splitting.  the monster is 八岐大蛇, which already has its own entry

The J-Es and kokugos split on the readings, with 「おろち」 as "monster" serpent, and 「だいじゃ」 as "big" snake.
