@wlashack...Your best bet would be to open your html doc in Sigil and work on it there. Before you do this you must ensure that you set Edit > Preferences > General Settings > Mend XHTML Source Code On: to Open and save. Then just load your Google HTML doc into Sigil. If you get any load errors then just allow Sigil to fix these errors. I would then run the CustomCleanerPlus plugin on it which should at least help to clean up your html and make it more easily readable. After that in Sigil you should be able to manually split the html into separate xhtml files, add metadata, add simple lists and reformat your epub how you like in html.
I would also agree with what Tex2002ans says -- Google html is almost garbage. Almost. The html styles section is just one big blob(no line-breaks and the html isn't much better). Their use of meaningless c2, c45, c103 style names(probably using Tidy) is also unimpressive. There are way too many kix list declarations in html styles(in fact more kix declarations than all the rest of the html style declarations combined). I delete all these unnecessary kix declarations in my plugins because I didn't want an over-bloated stylesheet after conversion. I've written two plugins that can convert Google html to epub(GoogleZipImport and HTML2Epub) and I think its fair enough to sum up and say that Google's html conversion is just a lazy mess. Another notable feature of their html conversion is that they don't even put a proper google identifier in the html meta tags. I can perhaps completely understand why they do this -- after all, who would want their name or monicker attached to such a poor, crappy conversion to html? And their conversion to epub is also an equally weak and lazy effort.
