The stylesheets are hard-coded to always generate a separate chunk
for each Article element -- there are no parameters for overriding
that behavior (chunk.section.depth only affects handling of
Section elements).

The only ways to change that behavior are to either add some
template overrides to your XSL stylesheet customization layer, or
to edit the source for the stylesheets directly.

If you can edit the stylesheets directly, you only need to make a
one-line change:
