Plex has a feature that can index multiple episodes of a show from a single file. Shuffling that show will then do what you described.
I don't recall the specifics, but I think I had to specify that there were multiple episodes in each file via the Web UI to get it to work, so it might be a manual process.

I would like this for old cartoons that had 2 or 3 episodes in a time block

Oh that's good to know.
Yup, looking at it, I see that it has broken them up into chapters and I didn't even realize it would do that.
I believe I got it to index multiple episodes automatically by including all the episodes in the file name.
Ex:
Series Name - S01E01-02-03 - Episode Name One + Episode Name Two + Episode Name Three.mp4ininewcrow@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y
That's called TikTok or Instagram
