No need to fear; the classic SF Serials worked exactly that way.
For that matter, a lot of the great SF of the 40's and 50's was either serials (Lensmen) or Novellas and Novelettes (The Foundation Trilogy was no such thing; it was just a series of short stories and Novellas).
On Singles (not thrilled by the name since the analogy with music albums implies unbundled Anthologies rather than standalones) it is going to be up to Amazon to make sure the content is standalone rather than extracts.
But then, if Amazon doesn't, the community will.
That's what 1-star reviews are for.
