As I remember, the pagination was/is continuous across sections. Our library originally had separate records (& call nos.) for the different sections then merged them into one. When that happened, I added the following holdings record note, the best I could come up with to explain: Vol. 83 (1978) - vol. 94 (1989) are bound by section and shelved by section within each year; pagination is discontinuous within each bound volume of those years. Consult each issue within each section until you find the pages needed. Vol. 95 (1990) - vol. 106 (2001) are bound with continuous pagination, resulting in discontinuous numbering. Vol. 107+ are again bound and shelved by section. I was relieved when we went to online-only, but amused to see that our e-journal was back to separate records.

LCRI 12.0 - Serials Issued in Parts provides some guidance for when to create separate records vs. creating one record. These criteria can include whether the issues are internumbered or have continuous pagination, whether they can be purchased separately, whether they are intended to be used together, etc. I don't have pieces in hand to tell whether this title falls under one set of guidelines more than the other. I would suggest you notice the 022 (ISSN) and 030 (CODEN) fields in record #2396688. All those subfield z's indicate that an ISSN Center (and Chem Abs) had separate ISSN/CODEN assigned at one point, and then cancelled them all, keeping the one for the main series. If the ISSN Center has made this decision, personally I would follow along with it. Unfortunately, I see that National Serials Ddata Program assigned an ISSN to two of the sections (Solid Earth, #24424753; Planets, #24364419) just last year, so it does seem to me that NSDP should be consistent in either treating all of the sections as separate titles or not. Just my two cents.
