If I import the html directly into Sigil, it's one huge file and makes the poor program chug.

You'd have to put up with the chugging during the process, but Sigil does allow insertion of chapter breaks. Then you go Tools>Split On SGF Chapter Markers to break the file into pieces.
As to the cover, I actually prefer my ebooks to have it included on the first page. It's the only way to see it in its full size and beauty. The icon cover in an ebook reader is too tiny to appreciate. Yeah, it gets bigger in readers on the PC or Mac, but I don't often read at my desktop.
That said, an option in Sigil to set the cover image wouldn't be bad.
