From what I've been able to pull out of the DAISY 3 Structure Guidelines, you can have multipart books using DTBook, each part still has to have the necessary headers and the "book" is logically segmented (you can't just randomly segment a file into arbitrary chunks).

Ex.

Code:

<dtbook>
    <head>
    </head>
    <book>
        <bodymatter>
            <level1 class="chapter">
                <h1>Chapter 1</h2>
                <p>(paragraph tags or any block level element)</p>
            </level1>
        </bodymatter>
    </book>
</dtbook>

Code:

<dtbook>
    <head>
    </head>
    <book>
        <bodymatter>
            <level1 class="chapter">
                <h1>Chapter 2</h2>
                <p>(paragraph tags or any block level element)</p>
            </level1>
        </bodymatter>
    </book>
</dtbook>
