For whatever reason the Gutenberg files don't have each chapter in a separate html file. So then my next step is to prepend above the h<whatever> tags Sigil's split marker. Then tell Sigil to split at the markers.
Edit: I forgot to say that I replace everything above the start body tag with the corresponding stuff from a new sigil .xhtml file, so that it has the correct epub3 stuff.

Why not simply open the Gutenberg epub, merge the html files and then split them at chapter boundaries? I do this in Sigil but calibre's editor has similar functionality.
