Sadly, when KindleGen reaches SVG images, it adds page breaks before/after. Nothing you can do about it on your end. (Although I do remember last time it was discussed, Amazon MAY have corrected this bug? But don't quote me on that.)

Also, SVGs are only supported in KF8/KFX formats... to support old MOBI, you will have to enable PNG/JPG fallbacks using Media Queries (see Appendix D in the Amazon Kindle Publishing Guidelines).

I also did run across this line in their publishing guidelines (Section 9.4.11):

eBooks with more than 25 SVG images are not supported in Enhanced Typesetting
... so you probably wouldn't be getting a KFX version of that book any time soon.
