The reference to a css file you'v seen in an xsl file was probably just a command that inserts a <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"...> into the generated html file. It's the xslt stuff alone that decides where to chunk the generated output into files. http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/snapshot/doc/html/index.html will explain you how to customize the xsl stylesheets, notably http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/snapshot/doc/html/pr01.html explains how customization works in general, and http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/snapshot/doc/html/chunk.section.depth.html tells you about the parameter you want to modify to change chunk granularity.
