The author-handling code indeed seems to have been written.with a single
document author in mind.
At least not with multiple author-parts spanning over several lines each.
I still don't know where the \and gets translated to a '-', so maybe I
missed something.
As long as you use neither amsmath nor the \authorURL command, the
following patch produces a DVI-like result.
I hope you are using v1.68, too...

amsmath.perl, amstex.perl and the \authorURL-Code in latex2html would
have to be changed accordingly.
These changes are *not* included in the patch above.
@Ross:
Sorry for dissecting the main program again. I know there are other ways
around the problem, but this would
mean either overwriting sub translate in .latex2html-init or supplying
two different versions of the \author command
in the LaTeX file, which is both not the way I think this should be handled.
