What are you trying to do by splitting the HTML files into 'chunks'? If
you have 
100K bytes of html data in your index.html page and you split it into 4
25K 
chunks, the users will still have to download 100K ( 4 x 25K ) of data. 

As far as delivering the chunks, say that you did have a 100K index.html
that
you wanted to deliver. You could create ( somehow ) your 4, 25K chunck
files
and called them index_1.html, index_2.html, etc. then have an index.php
file that contained:
<?
include "index_1.html";
include "index_2.html";
include "index_3.html";
include "index_4.html";
?>

you could also split your .html page into a frame ( if it's not already
) 
each part of the frame could load a different chunk.
