I still have not found a real solution for this. It's bizarre to me that Resolve doesn't have the capacity to join spanned clips, given that Blackmagic's own Ursa camera will regularly do this whenever you have two memory cards in it and record past the capacity of the first one. I've had to resort to making a timeline with the audio synced to the video clip with the slate, and then adding the second clip to abut the first clip so that the audio is in sync. Auto-sync by waveform should in theory be able to sync audio to the second clip, but in practice I don't think I've ever seen this happen correctly. The second clip (ie, after the span) is invariably way out of sync. And even if that worked, you'd still have two independent clips to deal with when it should just be one.
I did on one or two occasions use a custom script in Automator (on the Mac) to move and renumber all of the DNG files from the second clip into the same folder as the first clip, but it still required a lot of hand-holding and that kind of automated file management is dangerous (definitely duplicate or back up your starting points beforehand).
