Play with the  -split  command-line option,
or the  $MAX_SPLIT_DEPTH  parameter.

e.g.  look at the effect of each of

    latex2html -split 4 ...other options...  filename.tex
    latex2html -split 5 ...other options...  filename.tex
    latex2html -split 6 ...other options...  filename.tex

Keep increasing the number until you get what you want.
(I think 6 is correct, but it may depend upon which document-class
you are using.)

You may also need to adjust  -link <num>   which controls
the  $MAX_LINK_DEPTH  parameter, to ensure that you have
links to the separate pages.

The  -split <num>  and  -link <num>   are basic options which
need to be used to control this kind of situation.
It's actually a very common situation.

Some documents want all sectioning commands to start new pages;
others do not. The various options give you the control that
you need.
