I have had some success with a 2 pass approach on the can't split issue:
A TEMPORARY increase in the split size on the EPUB output tab of the conversion screen from 260K to about 400K.

(Optional: Edit in Sigil to make a pleasing look. Then: )
Once converted, set the value back to 260K and convert from EPUB > EPUB
Why would you edit in Sigil and then ePub > ePub? Once it's in Sigil, you can do the editing and splitting there and not have to bother with converting. Editing in Sigil to get it ready for an ePub > ePub is a rather bad idea.
