I have no experience with this kind of work or this extension. 
My idea to realize this job:
export the word-data in a structured way (maybe XML)
then use a script to split this document and produce SQL-records for your
TYPO3-site (pages, tt_content)

As far as I understand the extension rlmp_officeimport (a quick look into
documentation) it imports every document as a single content-element.
under ToDo you can read:
| Browse function (show content on different pages instead of one)
which is your intend.

Maybe you sponsor this ToDo. The costs may be less than doing the script
from scratch. Ask the developer (Robert Lemke)
