Do I need to wait for the file to be converted to EPUB, before I can actually say how the HTML files are split up to single pages, as I can't know beforehand, ( e.g. <a href="./index_split_001.HTML#footnote1 ) or is there a simpler way to circumvent the internal workings of the EPUB file?
I don't know what could be simpler than to open an html file in Sigil, to link it to a favored style sheet, and then to click on the appropriate icon and merrily split away! That's the way I've handled every ebook since January 2012.

But once calibre converted the file to EPUB, the links stopped working.
From all that I have read (and I've read a lot!), you're better off leaving Calibre out of the process if you are serious about publishing, as opposed to managing books for your own enjoyment. To me, Calibre-generated html looks an awful mess. I use it regularly to convert epubs to mobi files so I can read them on my Fire tablet, but I wouldn't dream of inflicting that html on my own books.
