Cartoons with two or three distinct stories (segments) per half-hour should be split so that each segment is an episode.

Hi, I can understand that but that’s not how the episodes are listed or how they are formatted.
Check the IMDb page: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0169414/episodes/?season=1

Additionally the segments are never split on any releases. They are always combined.

IMDb has no relevance here, they are another database like TMDB. Different databases are likely to have different guidelines.
I'm sorry but that's what the guidelines say.

Well you know what they say about guidelines… how do I appeal that “guideline”? The way it sets this up makes things completely unusable.

You can't. It's a part of the Contribution Bible.

Ok, but that was written by someone or a group of someone’s, how do you propose updates or changes?

Presumably Travis and the mods that were active before I came along.
I don't know. Maybe you can try your luck over on the General or Website Support sections but it's likely the answer is going to be "No" again.

I appreciate you humoring me, but does it make any difference that purchasing these particular items from iTunes or Amazon shows that they are double episodes?

No. Take a look at Animaniacs (and the reboot), or Phineas and Ferb, or Milo Murphy's Law and you'll see that every segment has its own episode despite the fact that they are combined on digital video stores and streaming services.
If a cartoon that has multiple segments doesn't follow the segment split rule, please report it.
