You can download the full HTML version (in opposite to the
split HTML version you've refered to) from this source:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html
This will contain the full handbook.
Additional idea:
Open this page in your web browser and press ^P. Redirect the
output to a file (usually a .ps file). Then use ps2pdf to make
a PDF file from it, and then use pdftk to extract the chapters
you want to have (use a PDF viewer such as xpdf or gv to find
the page numbers representing that range).
Probably you can also use the misc/freebsd-doc port to generate
the PS or PDF output you want. If you already have it installed,
you'll find The FreeBSD Handbook here:
/usr/local/share/doc/freebsd/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook
The files book.html and book.txt can be found in this directory.
Note that FreeBSD does not publish free and open documentation
in proprietary formats such as "DOC" because using such a format
would be a bad idea as it limits usability and portability of
information.
