I thought about splitting the RIS file into multiple chunks and then importing each one individually into Calibre, but that would add an extra step and would fragment my multi-record RIS files into several thousand unique-record files. The RIS files exported from Zotero may contain hundreds, even thousands of records/citations/“books” per file...

The RIS Specification allows only one (1) Citation per set of RIS Tags.

This may be so, although many academic databases (Ebsco, ProQuest, etc.) do not follow this specification, exporting the metadata for several titles into one single multi-record RIS file (which can be then imported without issues into Zotero).
Thanks, anyway. I’m thinking now of using ZMI, and then your CSV tool from JS+ to import/update the CSV fields that ZMI leaves out.
