Quite a few from Gutenberg where you find multiple chapters and pieces of chapters in a single file. I've seen all too many ebooks where the entire ebook is in a single file and there is no page break forced though, if you are lucky, there are multiple blank lines between the end of one chapter and the start of another which does make it easy to automate the splitting.
One recent book used a 4 files for the entirety of the text and didn't even bother to split the files at chapter boundaries so chapter 10 was partly in one file and partly in another leading to a mostly blank page with two lines in the middle of the chapter. As near as I could tell, the original was a single file which was split into 103KB chunks.
Overall, ebook formatting has gotten better and there are fewer abominations but you can still find them.
