But, the defaults are based around simple chapter headings. They assume either a h1 or h2 tag or a paragraph with a style or id with "chapter" as part of the name. If the book has something other than this, you need to change the rules used for the split. Look for a better choice on where to put the file split so that everything for each chapter is kept in the same file. I'll admit I rarely do that. If I'm converting from another format, I am as likely to let it happen, then merge and split the files in the editor. That lets me see the code where the spits should happen.

When you are converting from Epub, AZW3 or Mobi, there is no need for *any* splitting rules, (other than split on page break,,, but even that I've seen misbehave on a book wit several footnotes that each had a page break in css.)
The Book should already be split, Calibre trying to apply it's own logic is at best not helping anything, at worse, making a complete mess of the book. I have spent *way* too much time fixing books by hand to not appreciate how easy it is for the calibre defaults to make a mess of this.
