This applies to *any* file of Perl code read by LaTeX2HTML
(and presumably to Perl scripts generally). It is not specific
to the content of those files. Besides, I'm pretty sure that it is
mentioned in the manual somewhere.

This is controlled (globally) by the  $MAX_LINK_DEPTH  variable,
which can be set on the command-line with  -link <num> .
This *is* discused in the manual, along with  -split  for $MAX_SPLIT_DEPTH.

These two Perl variables can be adjusted from page to page within
a document, using the  \HTMLset   or  \HTMLsetenv  macros, from  html.sty .

Yes; using  \HTMLset{MAX_SPLIT_DEPTH}{<num>} .
But you need to be careful with this, and its interplay with $MAX_LINK_DEPTH
for creating links to adjacent pages. That is, you'll need to check that
the navigation-bar links are sensible, and allow the resulting pages to be
accessed in a logical sequence.

Yes.
For this, it is the $ADDRESS variable that needs to be adjusted, in an
initialisation file (e.g. within  .latex2html-init ).
Here's an example from one of my sites:

$ADDRESS = join( ""
        , "<SMALL>HTML generated using "
        , '<A HREF="http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht">LaTeX2HTML</A><BR>'
        , "\nby " , $address_data[0]
        , ", ", $address_data[1], "\n"
        , ' for <A HREF="mailto:FD-PublicRelations@topica.com">FD-PublicRelations</A>'
        , "</SMALL>");

Notice that it references:  $address_data[0]  and  $address_data[1]
to get the current user-name and date.
It's entirely up to you to construct valid HTML for the coding here.

It's a pleasure.

Have fun with LaTeX2HTML
