Is it possible to split epubs by size?

Of course I use the plugin epubsplit, but it's available only with the option of splitting by section. What can I do?

Back in the olden days of e-readers.

260K was the limit of the 'current section' that could be active. It (the setting) is still present in the Conversion Output options for EPUB in Calibre.
This does not make a separate book, just breaks up the internals so the load faster (the more common break these days is by Chapter).

As to Splitting a book simply by size??? How does that make sense? That would be similar to just Unzipping an EPUB and saving the debris

, that will soon get lost or out of order.

Most of the time a given eBook is split at the different sections/chapters. You can use the calibre editor's error checker. It will tell you if any html file is too large.

But no, you cannot split books based on size.
