You can use Sigil to split your chapters:

Press Ctrl+F, then make sure you are in Mode: "Regex".

Search: (<p class="calibre1" style="text-align: justify;"><a id="\d+"></a><b class="calibre2">)

Replace: <hr class="sigil_split_marker" />\1

Then Edit > Split at Markers (F6).

This should split all 27 chapters into their individual HTML files.

Note: Make sure to turn off Regex mode. If you don't know what you're doing, you can easily break/delete code out of your book.

After splitting, you can do some minor cleaning.

Biggest things I would recommend:

1. Rename the HTML files to something that actually makes sense:

Instead of:

- index_split_003.html

you want human-readable filenames:

- Part01.xhtml
- Chapter01.xhtml
- Chapter02.xhtml

Note: This also helps debug if things are busted (like your TOC issue). You can actually tell where the heck the links are pointing instead of all these cryptic names.

2. Change Headings to Use Proper <h1>-><h6>

Instead of this current crud:

<p class="calibre1" style="text-align: justify;"><a id="287"></a><b class="calibre2">Chapter 1 [...]</p>

you want those headings to be:

<h1>Part 1</h1>
<h2>Chapter 1</h2>
<h2>Chapter 2</h2>

[...]

<h1>Part 2</h1>
<h2>Chapter 12</h2>

You can then use Sigil's Tools > Table Of Contents > Generate Table of Contents and Tools > Table Of Contents > Create HTML Table of Contents to regenerate a correct TOC for you.

I raised the issue with Kobo, who in turn raised it with the Publisher, but the publisher considered the issues "minor" and opted not to fix or recall the book. Kobo offered to refund me, but the book was $3, and I was also happy that the book was sold DRM-free by the publisher, so I told them not to worry about it.

This doesn't seem like a "minor" problem to me. This is a fundamentally broken ebook and should not be for sale in that state.
