Description
With ODM 3.5.5, I wrongly use those split options
--split-image-groups image_groups.txt , --split 400 and --split-overlap 20
which creates an endless loop by creating submodel of submodels of submodels...
split options should be sanitize in the early stages like in config.py

Research direction
Start by reading config.py and the handling of --split-image-groups, --split, and --split-overlap. Reproduce the invalid combination described in the issue, then review linked PR #1887 for the work already underway. Done means invalid split combinations are rejected early instead of creating recursive submodels and the symbolic-link error.
