Have you ever seen a nibbed scarf joint in a sill?

As Martin removed the base of the chimney he exposed the sill only to discover that it wasn't one piece across the whole house. To prevent further movement he has braced it.  Also, on closer inspection, the front sill also has a nibbed scarf joint and there is a carry beam across the center of the house, which has a scarf joint and has definitely moved, creating a hump in the middle of the floor.
