Look into EPUBSplit for that. It's much faster and easier.

Split up the book, and export the seperate volumes. Then use Sigil to put the cover in, fix the layout to how you want it, and you're done.

Don't forget to put a <guide></guide> part at the end of the OPF file, something EPUBSplit seems to omit:

Code:
<guide>
  <reference href="Text/cover.xml" title="Cover" type="cover" />
</guide>
Replace "cover.xml" with whatever the name of the file is where your cover is in. If you omit this part (with at least the cover in it), you get a book that behaves weird, at least on a Kindle Paperwhite.
