Yes, I understand the formal properties of TCP and that anything is possible. Thank you for explaining.
What I am asking is whether Kamailio takes pains to ensure--I suppose, if one must be labouriously precise, to maximise the probability--that multiple SIP messages are packaged into separate packets. To the extent it can do so.

there is no real meaning to the end applications to what bytes of user payload are in which TCP segments within packets.
No, not to the application. But perhaps to third-party packet analysis systems which reconstruct SIP state from what they see on the wire. :-)
They need to reassemble segments and cope anyway. There's a long history of evading firewalls by creative fragmentation.
