I would like to keep everything within a single view if that's possible. Otherwise I am going to have to figure out a way to divide it manually into separate libraries.

I don't know what is the cause of your problems. The best approach is to try to solve them at the filesystem level.
If that fails you want to what you asked for above, you can create a new custom column for authors, use the search and replace dialog to copy all your authors to that custom column, and use the standard authors column for partitioning. e.g for all books that first author letter is a, you put an a in the standard authors list, you can do this manually or use regular expression search and replace.
