The plugin obtains the desired number of pages either from a custom column or it infers a reasonable value from the size of the book.

It then divides the content of the book into that number of pages by adding page markers throughout the book so that each page contains close to the same amount of text.

It is technically possible. The main issue is determining at what points to start and stop.

If selected by the user then a method would have to be implemented to communicate those points to the plugin. I doubt that it would be used much due to the manual effort involved for each book.

If determined automatically then criteria for selection of those points would need to be established. It would take research to do that and whatever was developed would likely fail for some subset of books.

So while it would be possible to change the plugin to do this, it would take more time and effort than I am willing to put in just to make the page numbering better resemble a print book.
