The solution is either - Stacked Episode Naming - or Multi-Part Episode Naming - both described here in detail I believe:

Multiple Episodes in a Single File
If a single file covers more than one episode, name it as follows:
- /TV Shows/ShowName/Season 02/ShowName – s02e17-e18 – Optional_Info.ext
Where you specify the appropriate season, episode numbers (the first and last episode covered in the file), and file extension.
Note : Multi-episode files will show up individually in Plex apps when viewing your library, but playing any of the represented episodes will play the full file. If you want episodes to behave truly independently, you’re best off using a tool to split the file into individual episodes.
To get a better overall experience, you may wish to use a tool to split the video so that each episode has its own individual file. There are multiple ways you can do this and a quick search in your favorite search engine should give you some options on how to “split” a file. An unofficial guide with one free tool has even been posted in our forums.

Episodes Split Across Multiple Files
Episodes that are split into several files (e.g. pt1, pt2), can be played back as a single file if named correctly. Name the files as follows:
- /TV Shows/ShowName/Season 02/ShowName – s02e17 – Split_Name.ext
Where Split_Name is one of the following:
- cdX
- discX
- diskX
- dvdX
- partX
- ptX
…and you replace X with the appropriate number (cd1, cd2, etc.).
Notes :
- Not all Plex apps support playback of stacked media
- All parts must be of the same file format (e.g. all MP4 or all MKV)
- All parts should have identical audio and subtitle streams in the same order
- Only stacks up to 8 parts are supported
Also - FileBot may just leap in and do the job before you know what happened- or need a bit of help. It depends on how badly your files are named…lol
