GitHub issue: NonMatchingSplitsSizesError when using data_dir
Author: srehaag (NONE)

### Describe the bug

Loading a dataset from with a data_dir argument generates a NonMatchingSplitsSizesError if there are multiple directories in the dataset. 

This appears to happen because the expected split is calculated based on the data in all the directories whereas the recorded split is calculated based on the data in the directory specified using the data_dir argument. 

This is recent behavior. Until the past few weeks loading using the data_dir argument worked without any issue.

### Steps to reproduce the bug

Simple test dataset available here: https://huggingface.co/datasets/srehaag/hf-bug-temp

The dataset contains two directories "data1" and "data2", each with a file called "train.parquet" with a 2 x 5 table.

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("srehaag/hf-bug-temp", data_dir = "data1")

__________

By contrast, this loads the data from both data1/train.parquet and data2/train.parquet without any error message:

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("srehaag/hf-bug-temp")



### Expected behavior

Should load the 5 x 2 table from data1/train.parquet without error message.
