By all means, mention that all devices/apps may not honor the page-break-(before|after) css attribute, but let's not tell someone they should "never, ever do it that way." People learn by doing, not by having anonymous internet personalities say things like; "No! Bad epub maker! Bad! No!"
@Trane: Try the css "soft" page-breaks yourself. See how they work and how you do it. Then decide if using it is worth the risk of it being ignored on some devices or not. You're under no obligation to make the world's most compliant, universally-rendered epub on the planet.

Thanks DiapDealer. I didn't respond to the previous replies b/c I already stated earlier in this thread I would likely go with the split afterall. So the 'paddling' was a non-sequitur.
I also never indicated I was planning on using wide margins or excessive spacing, but lurkers might benefit from that advice.
It's good to know about the CSS soft page-breaks whether I use them or not. I'll see how many I need to do, and how critical they are, and let the combo of that weigh into the final decision.
Thanks again for all your help. For everyone's help. Much appreciated.
