You can alternate LaTeX and HTML output by
%begin{latexonly}
\section{..}
%end{latexonly}
\begin{htmlonly}
\subsection{...}
\end{htmlonly}
and experiment with -split depth.

\begin{htmlonly}
\subsection
\end{htmlonly}
%begin{latexonly}
\section
%end{latexonly}
  {caption...}

could save you the doubled caption line.

The disadvantage of this trick is that the table of
contents and some of the minicontents are screwed up.

Another solution could be this:
\newcommand{\htmlbreaknextpage}{}

sub do_cmd_htmlbreaknextpage {
    $EXPLICITBREAK = 1;
    $_[0];
}
  (add this to latex2html or l2hconf.pm)

if ($current_depth<$MAX_SPLIT_DEPTH || $EXPLICITBREAK) {
    $EXPLICITBREAK = 0;
  (replace this with line 2237 in latex2html, below the
   while loop head in sub translate)

However, this solution might screw up some of the
navigation panels because the "Next" buttons might not
be computed correctly.
Perhaps you can spend the time to make this solution
bug-proof, and we can integrate this patch into the next
release, then.

Kind regards,
Jens.
