For future reference, I’ll post the the full updated script for creating the documents and appending additional text to the top/bottom of each generated document here just in case any future people are interested.
# encoding=utf-8
"""in response to https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/topic/19738/ , the 2022-May-10 add-on
set nChars to be the maximum "chunk" size, replace ENTER YOUR TEXT HERE with your own text, then run this script.
"""
from Npp import editor, notepad
import os.path
nChars = 9000
regex = r'(?s).{1,' + str(nChars) + r'}(\R|\z)'
counter = 0
originalFullname = notepad.getCurrentFilename()
originalPath, originalFile = os.path.split( originalFullname )
originalBase, originalExt = os.path.splitext( originalFile )
def withChunk(m):
global counter
counter += 1
newPath = "{}\\{}_{:03d}{}".format(originalPath, originalBase, counter, originalExt)
#console.write( "{}\tlength={}".format(newPath, len(m.group(0)))+"\n")
notepad.new()
editor.setText(m.group(0))
editor.documentStart()
editor.addText('ENTER YOUR TEXT HERE\n\n')
editor.appendText('ENTER YOUR TEXT HERE')
notepad.saveAs(newPath)
notepad.close()
notepad.activateFile(originalFullname)
editor.research(regex, withChunk)
