Description
While loading a dataset with multiple splits I get an error saying `Couldn't find file at `
I am loading the dataset like so, nothing out of the ordinary.
This dataset needs a token to access it.
```
token="hf_myhftoken-sdhbdsjgkhbd"
load_dataset("speechcolab/gigaspeech", "test", cache_dir=f"gigaspeech/test", token=token)
```
I get the following error

Now you can see that the URL that it is trying to reach has the JSON object of the dataset split appended to the base URL. I think this may be due to a newly introduced issue.
I did not have this issue with the previous version of the datasets. Everything was fine for me yesterday and after the release 12 hours ago, this seems to have broken. Also, the dataset in question runs custom code and I checked and there have been no commits to the dataset on Huggingface in 6 months.
### Steps to reproduce the bug
Since this happened with one particular dataset for me, I am listing steps to use that dataset.
1. Open https://huggingface.co/datasets/speechcolab/gigaspeech and fill the form to get access.
2. Create a token on your huggingface account with read access.
3. Run the following line, substituing `` with your token.
```
load_dataset("speechcolab/gigaspeech", "test", cache_dir=f"gigaspeech/test", token="")
```
### Expected behavior
Be able to load the dataset in question.
### Environment info
datasets == 2.19.0
python == 3.10
kernel == Linux 6.1.58+
