All of this looks good. When you finished splitting all necessary tracks, did you then load the entire album in order into your tag editor and auto-number the tracks and generate new filenames? Might not seem necessary, but can't hurt. If facing this issue and nothing else working, I'd load all the tracks into foobar2000 and generate new, clean FLAC (default compression 5). Lastly, if still a problem I'd strip the files of all tags, rescan, and play via LMS "Music Folder" just to be sure all tracks play in the desired order. If so, I'd manually re-enter the tags and try a final rescan. Are you running a "Clear library and rescan everything" rescan? Or, change the folder name slightly if doing a "New/changed" rescan. I've seen LMS get confused overwriting updated tags when doing a "New/changed" rescan and end up with some tag fields having multiple values. Forgive me if you've done all this. I'm just going through the things I'd try if I had no idea how else to solve this problem! If LMS is not indexing some of your files, it has to be related to filename or tags. There isn't much else. OK, there is something else: in LMS "Settings" go to "Advanced" > "Performance" and set "Maximum Playlist Length" to 0. Also, look at the "Filter" options on the "My Music" tab and see if they make sense. You might post a screenshot of these two tabs so others can offer suggestions.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not see some flac files
But didn't OP say the problem remained even when the .dot was replaced? Let me try one more idea: is it possible the missing tracks are there but under a different artist/album? Have you loaded the files into a tag editor (e.g. Mp3tag) to see if there are any inconsistent tags stopping these files from sorting together? Then again, since they all came from Audacity's "Export Multiple" they should have inherited everything but TRACKNUMBER and TITLE tags from the original file. Can you explain in more detail that initial "splitting" step in Audacity? I've done this many times when recording vinyl and not had any issues. Another thing I'd do is load the "invisible" files into foobar2000 (or equivalent) and verify their integrity. I don't see any mention in your posts that these files work as expected in another player, although I assume you've checked that.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not see some flac files
Linux can do much more than 255 characters in a file path . Beware of the total path length if you mount a disc under some other folder. I usually trim track names to bare minimum as most are in the tags anyway. Look out for forbidden characters in the file name in linux is formexample dot . A character for hidden files and folders and LMS wont see them . But again file and folder names can be simplified as you have tags .

Admittedly I'm fishing a bit, but I can't help noticing that is a long file name.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] LMS does not see some flac files
When I have seen missing tracks in an album of flac files, it is sometimes there are particular characters in the filename or directory path, so it might be worth checking out the filenames of the missing tracks. I think that forbidden characters may be different for different operating systems and filesystems - I try to avoid symbols such as $, #, ?, /, \ and punctuation marks. Having said that, I thought Audacity screened out such characters when doing 'export multiple'. I have never used seek points or a seek table.

>From xiph.org: SEEKTABLE: This is an optional block for storing seek points. It is possible to seek to any given sample in a FLAC stream without a seek table, but the delay can be unpredictable since the bitrate may vary widely within a stream. By adding seek points to a stream, this delay can be significantly reduced. Does not seem a likely cause of your issue.
