Been looking through the documentation, And as far as I can tell this isn't possible(?) to do with the configuration options I could find.

For clarity, The default way that gallery-dl formats AO3 downloads is like this:

.
└── ao3
    └── author
        ├── work1.file
        └── work2.file

I'm aiming to configure it to do this:

.
└── ao3
    └── author
        ├── work1
        │   ├── chapter1.file
        │   └── chapter2.file
        └── work2
            ├── chapter1.file
            └── chapter2.file

Does AO3 provide download links for individual chapters? From what I've seen, it is only possible to download entire works.

Oh, you're right. I swore you could.

In that case, Is there an intended way of getting gallery-dl to append a new chapter to an already fetched work? It doesn't do that at all by default, And that's mostly what I was trying to solve.

Appending to old files is not possible, but you can re-download updated works.

--filter "date_updated >= datetime(2024, 12, 1)" will only show works updated in December. Combine that with --no-skip to overwrite older versions. You could also include {date_updated} in your ao3 filename format string to download updated versions with a new name.
