No, SyncEvolution's --import wasn't designed for that. The code doing the
splitting is completely unaware of what kind of items it or the backend deals
with. All of the item manipulation operations are thin wrappers around the
existing backend methods.

That import/export can deal with multiple items is a convenience feature that
happens to work for vCard 3.0 and iCalendar 2.0 (at least as long redundant
empty lines are avoided). It does not work for vCard 2.1 or vCalendar 1.0
because those formats may contain empty lines (if I remember correctly).

This is different from a dedicated "import vcard file" feature. Such a feature
would require the backends to implement additional functionality that is not
needed for syncing. Therefore it is a bit out of scope for SyncEvolution.

Having said that, I would be okay with accepting patches that enhance the
feature.
