css is used by html, not xml. The reference to a css file you'v
seen in an xsl file was probably just a command that inserts a
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"...> into the generated html file.
It's the xslt stuff alone that decides where to chunk the generated
output into files.
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/snapshot/doc/html/index.html
will explain you how to customize the xsl stylesheets, notably
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/snapshot/doc/html/pr01.html
explains how customization works in general, and
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/snapshot/doc/html/chunk.section.depth.html
tells you about the parameter you want to modify to change chunk
granularity.
