Cannot load the blog_authorship_corpus due to codec errors

## Describe the bug
A codec error is raised while loading the blog_authorship_corpus. 

## Steps to reproduce the bug
```
from datasets import load_dataset
raw_datasets = load_dataset("blog_authorship_corpus")
```


## Expected results
Loading the dataset without errors.

## Actual results
An error similar to the one below was raised for (what seems like) every XML file.

Hi @izaskr, thanks for reporting.

However the traceback you joined does not correspond to the codec error message: it is about other error `NonMatchingSplitsSizesError`. Maybe you missed some important part of your traceback...

I'm going to have a look at the dataset anyway...

Hi @izaskr, thanks again for having reported this issue.

After investigation, I have created a Pull Request (#2685) to fix several issues with this dataset:
- the `NonMatchingSplitsSizesError`
- the `UnicodeDecodeError`

Once the Pull Request merged into master, you will be able to load this dataset if you install `datasets` from our GitHub repository master branch. Otherwise, you will be able to use it after our next release, by updating `datasets`: `pip install -U datasets`.

@albertvillanova 
Can you shed light on how this fix works?

We're experiencing a similar issue. 

If we run several runs (eg in a Wandb sweep) the first run "works" but then we get `NonMatchingSplitsSizesError`

| run num | actual train examples # | expected example # | recorded example # |
| ------- | -------------- | ----------------- | -------- |
| 1       | 100            | 100               | 100      |
| 2       | 102            | 100               | 102      |
| 3       | 100            | 100               | 202      | 
| 4       | 40             | 100               | 40       |
| 5       | 40             | 100               | 40       |
| 6       | 40             | 100               | 40       | 


The second through the nth all crash with 

```
datasets.utils.info_utils.NonMatchingSplitsSizesError: [{'expected': SplitInfo(name='train', num_bytes=19980970, num_examples=100, dataset_name='cies'), 'recorded': SplitInfo(name='train', num_bytes=40163811, num_examples=202, dataset_name='cies')}]
