Hunting for chapter headings in a poorly made book is one of the most tedious tasks, and I can't imaging a way to automate it. When chapter breaks are buried at random in large files, have no common text (like the word "chapter"), and have no unique styling, or inconsistent styling, it can mean an hour or more of scrolling through to find them all.
Once I do find them, I make each chapter a file with split and merge, get each one with the same heading style (which I often have to create), and let the TOC editor build the TOC from the files. Smaller files work better on my Kindle, too.
If there are something like 100+ chapters--that quickly makes it a candidate for "start over" in LibreOffice!
