Support for multiple parts of individual TV episodes

Is there any way to get plex to recognize TV series whose episodes contain multiple parts? An example would be the Classic Doctor Who, whose episodes would be in multiple parts, IE S23E1P2? Plex only seems to see the Season (Series) and Episode, and puts all parts as “versions”, while the TVDB doesn’t match up the names at all correctly…

Here you go:

Example:

TV Shows
   Doctor Who
      Season 01
         Doctor Who - s01e01-pt1.ext
         Doctor Who - s01e01-pt2.ext
         ...

Make sure those files are not actually individual episodes (as this extract from TheTVDb.com of Doctor Who Classic, Season 1):

Name First Aired
S01E01 An Unearthly Child (1) November 23, 1963
S01E02 The Cave of Skulls (2) November 30, 1963
S01E03 The Forest of Fear (3) December 7, 1963
S01E04 The Firemaker (4) December 14, 1963

If it’s actually separate files/parts of the same episode you might want to consider appending the files using e.g. MKVToolNix.
