Still speaking of A Song of Ice and Fire, the UK released twice a book in two parts. But I believe that series isn't a good example since many editions exist and it's very confusing. Just keep in mind that one can find each original book translated in one and only one book in French

Regarding the original topic, if the price of an ebook from a French publisher is higher at Kobo, by calling and letting them know they have to match the lower price. It happened to me once or twice, but I seldom see it.
If the ebook doesn't belong to a French publisher it's different, but a Kobo rep told me on the phone that, if I don't mind to contact them, I could try to ask them to match the price. I haven't tried so far.
Well I haven't checked this month, but don't forget that in France we divided the books in 10 parts instead of 5, so maybe the pack you're refering to is only for the 2 first books ? Something else that could explain why I could have missed it is the HORRIBLE search feature, unable to find a book accurately even if you give the name of the author and the title
