I would like to be able to choose always split playlist into separate videos #331

I would like to be able to choose always split playlist into separate videos.

The options are never split, split below 50 split below 100 split below 200... but what if I have a playlist longer than 200 that I want split up? like say a tiktok username?

One reason I want to do this is of course that merging tiktok videos is currently a broken feature (at least on windows) likely caused by all the emoji's in titles on tiktok (windows hates emoji's in filenames even though it supports them too many in one filename causes errors eventually inevitably)

But in general, what if merging files is broken for whatever reason? It would be useful in terms of debugging for the user themselves to simply turn this step/feature off.

Right now if you're playlist is below 200 videos long you have this choice, but if your playlist is longer, you don't have the choice? Why not? Seems like it would not be that hard to add? (it is over my head though).

Of course for the time being I'm content to just use CLI yt-dlp but I much prefer this GUI, it's very friendly to use.
