in epub
but toc only pointing once at the 1st & last files

what footer titles & counts will we see, if we sideload that through the kepub driver, & will we see extra generated TOC entries for the middle 2 fiels ?
There was a discussion on this late last year. I think the conclusion was that there needed to be a TOC entry for each file. If there wasn't, the book wasn't handled correctly. I can't find the thread quickly, but the poster included a book called "Page numbers Test - Yo.epub". The copy I have is from 18th of November last year, so the discussion probably happened about then. But, it might have been in the extended driver thread.

PS I leave the 260k limit default intact in calibre, just in case I ever switch to a reader that still needs that. I still have one old Sony reader for emergencies!

there's another case. I have some books where the chapter number is always in a separate filel from th chapter text - usually caused calibre's default structure detection rules when silly people use chapter as a CSS class

so you get
ch1-0.html
ch1-1.html
ch2-0.html
ch2-1.html

etc.
in the 1st file of each pair is just the chapter number or title, in the 2nd file is the body text.

and that is such a pain to reverse - I never figured out how to automate recombining each pair so I leave it be, usually. I think the kepub renderer is not going to like that setup.
I would probably edit the source to fix that first. Or play with the chapter detection If the source uses heading tags, then getting rid of the text checks will prevent the split. But, it's easy to merge two files in Sigil or the calibre editor.
