Once it's in the collection as a single clip, you can try a right mouse
click and try created clips there. But if it doesn't do it, you're into
manually splitting it.
Another thing you might try is importing it into MM1, which might do the
scene splitting.... have it create a collection database for it and then
import the collection into MM2. It would depend on if the extra steps would
help you save enough.
