If your chapters are defined by <h2> tags then a simple default conversion should work

Code:

ebook-convert rss.html rss.mobi

but if you want to specify the <h2> then I think the command is

Code:

ebook-convert rss.html rss.mobi --chapter //h:h2

The CLI conversion options are in the User manual
