...I don't think they chop it on purpose, it just happens. I have a few (10-12) that are chopped into smaller video's. C/S told me it does happen from time to time. Just like sometimes I do a private show and don't get any VOD at all. Quote

It's definitely not done on purpose. A recording ends up as a multi-part recording whenever a performer experiences a video disconnect and then establishes a connection at a different server. Since the recording takes place on the server to which the performer is broadcasting we end the first recording and start a new one.
Perhaps the performer you were in private with was having trouble maintaining a stable connection during the show in question. We try to make the video disconnect/reconnect fairly invisible during the paid show (sometimes you don't even notice the switch) but it certainly is more visible in the multi-part recordings.
So I don't think this is a case of "ain't broke dont' fix" but more a case of "something is better than nothing".
