RE: Another solution is to split the CD image into separate files

I discovered that foobar2000 can do the splitting! And it works! First open the cue file from the file menu, then select all the resulting tracks, right-click and select Convert. You get a menu that does many format conversions. Select flac. It seems to automatically know in the case of a one-flac-per-album file that you want to split into flac tracks.

The only thing that remains is to do some critical listening to make sure it doesn't affect sound quality. It shouldn't, as it has no reason to change the audio data even when re-encoding it, but never take anything for granted.

By the way, splitting a flac would, by my guess, need reencoding of each track, not just dividing up the bytes of the original flac. If it were a wav, raw PCM, then it would just be simple division of the file, but encoding a flac requires an analysis of patterns within the raw data.
