Description:

I am setting up a multi-arc ephemeris for a body: a multi-flyby trajectory where the state history dictionary contains data for few hours per arc. There are months/years between these arcs, yet the ephemeris will happily interpolate between these pockets of validity.

This is potentially dangerous at the least a warning should be issued when this is happening.
Other solutions could be to throw an exception when interpolation between these arcs is requested.

The most advanced and user friendly version could include setting a "default" ephemeris in the multi-arc ephemeris creation, that the interpolator falls back to when queried between arcs (similar to the "layering" of loaded spice kernels).

Suggestions for implementation:
