Example: 
\$ $0 input.file chunk-duration output-filename-format

Info:
- input file may be any kind of file reconginzed by ffmpeg
- chunk duration must be in seconds
- output filename format must be printf-like, for example myvideo-part-%04d.avi
- if no output filename format is given, it will be computed
  automatically from input filename

Flags: 
-s	Path to video source (string)

-o	Path to output file with format (string)
	Format must be printf-like, for example ./path/video-part-%03d.avi

-c	Chunk length in seconds (integer)

-v	Takes no arguments
	Will be Verbose

-a	Takes no arguments
	Will remove audiostream

-p	Takes no arguments
	Will play sound on done

-i	Offset for file format (integer)

-h	Takes no arguments
	Help - detailed guide

-d	Takes no arguments
	Dry-run (no actual writing)

You need to change the pattern in get_video_duration_in_seconds_from_file to:

__DURATION_HMS=$(ffmpeg -i "${FILE}" 2>&1 | grep Duration | grep -e '[0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}' -o)
