No.  If these models are MPD format, the first line of an mpd is going

No.
'Name:' and 'FILE' are different.  As soon as an MPD is split, all the
FILE lines disappear, so you must leave in a 'Name:'
Ex:

0 Title for the MPD
0 Name: filename.mpd
0 Author: Author
0 Comments
0
0 FILE file1.dat  <---during MPD parsing, all lines until this are
deleted.
0 Title for File1 <---Splitting starts here!
0 Name: file1.dat
0 Author: Author

0 FILE file2.dat  <---This line gets deleted during parsing
0 Title for File2 <---This line is the first line of the next file.
0 Name: file2.dat

I hope that clears things up!
