If you merge the split files before importing them into Vegas you won't have that issue w/ missing frames. It's the same if you were importing a DVD you need to merge the VOBs into one big VOB first to avoid gaps being introduced. I'm pretty sure it's a sector boundary issue.
There're a bunch of free mergers on Videohelp.com - for example:
