Depends.
Are the 9 parts actually 9 separate episodes or are they 9 parts of one episode?
Which tv show is it?

If these 9 parts are encoded **exactly** the same, you can use this guide to fit them into one common file: [[HowTo]: joining multi-part movies files with MKVtoolnix GUI](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-joining-multi-part-movies-files-with-mkvtoolnix-gui/113211/1)
But before you try this, look up the tv show at TheTVDB. Maybe these are really 9 episodes. [https://www.thetvdb.com/](https://www.thetvdb.com/)

Thanks I’ll try that, each ‘segment’ is 10 mins long, so someone has split it apart for some strange reason

There are tv shows which have indeed very short episodes.
Look it up on TheTVDB, google it on other sites as well, to find out if it perhaps started its live as a “web show” or something .
