Doesn't this already get done with some series? Or at least it seems to have been done with Morishima Akiko's work.
Conditions for Paradise? Yeah, I guess that's true. Zettai x Roman is the only other series I know of tagged like this, and that one was sort of an accident. If a single-continuity work starts pushing three or four chapters, there is certainly some argument to be had for giving it a page of its own. But this still doesn't account for two-shots, which clearly are not series of their own.
However, the stories set in that school don't overlap that much, so you could also make an argument for keeping each of the individual stories separate.
If that argument could be made, then I don't think an extra page/sorting option would really be necessary. Limiting it to works that have explicit, otherwise unaccounted-for continuations would hopefully keep things from getting too confusing.
And then there's the argument that this proliferation of pseudo-series would make the author's page messy and confusing: consider again Morishima's page
Two potential solutions, either a) put the pseudo-series page inside the anthology page (could cause its own problems), or b) don't give the pseudo-series a page at all, but change where the redirect leads when pressing "next chapter." In the case of the latter option, this could either be entirely hidden from the user, or it could be presented the same way series' with magazine tags are (i.e. the user can choose whether the next chapter will be the next entry in the magazine, or the next chapter of the series like so).
Of course, there are probably better ways to go about it I'm not thinking of, those are just my quick thoughts on possible ways to fix something that is becoming a bit of a problem.
