Not Planned Table of Contents

This is a constant confusion with SEO... If it is not for search engines it is not SEO, it generally falls under user experience and usability.

If you are doing long articles and are wanting to optimize for monetization or search engines you will 100% want to use multiple pages as that inherently increases your reach and potential hits for search terms, and also will increase your ad views.

There also exists at least one add-on that does this fairly easily, so it doesn't seem the best time investment for @Bob but he has the final say.

 

You are actually right, however Truong has said he's willing to add support: [tl] Thread Catalogs (Tables of Contents) [Paid]

 

That one works differently, and works if you want to separate into pages; the other one is better if you are wanting to separate into a table of contents.

Truong is more likely to add support in a timely manner.
