Yes, but it was the author who split the story into three volumes when it was first published over 50 years ago . The breaks are fairly arbitrary, I'll admit, but at least we got our full 11 hour movie event

Actually, that was the publisher. Tolkien did not have anything to do with the breaking into three volumes.

True story. It was to make it more cost-effective during the '30s.
