If so, could someone explain how to do that? And if not, could someone please explain what this new feature does do then, I'm just a little confused?
Yes, Go to Preferences - Tweaks (you might have to scroll down) got to the tweak titled

Splitting multiple author names

The bottom right pane will show:

Code:
# Splitting multiple author names

authors_split_regex = '(?i),?\\s+(and|with)\\s+'
If you change it to

Code:
# Splitting multiple author names

 authors_split_regex = '(?i),?\\s+(with)\\s+'
and hit apply and restart calibre.

Then it will not use the word and to split authors.

I'm relatively sure this was created with you in mind.
