You could also do it this way:
<part type="pages">
<detail>
<number>23-30</number>
<number>61-66</number>
</detail>
</part>
Or, since extent is repeatable, you could do it this way:
<extent
unit="pages">
<start>23</start>
<end>30</end>
</extent>
<extent
unit="pages">
<start>61</start>
<end>66</end>
</extent>
But again, whether Zotero will interpret this correctly I have no idea.
So, being curious, I went hunting, and it turns out that there is a Zotero/MODS mapping example out there (from this
page https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/field_mappings click on “Field mappings for most Zotero export types are listed here” which takes you to
https://github.com/aurimasv/zotero-import-export-formats then click on “MODS.xml”). Within the MODS.xml file, each <mods>….</mods> chunk is an example of how to do a different type of source.
If you look at the section for journal articles (<genre
authority="local">journalArticle</genre>)
the example it gives is this:
<part>
<detail type="volume"><number>Volume</number></detail>
<detail type="issue"><number>Issue</number></detail>
<extent unit="pages"><start>Pages</start><end>Pages</end></extent>
</part>
This suggests to me that simply repeating the
<extent> might be the right way to do it, for example:
<part>
<detail type="volume"><number>12</number></detail>
<detail type="issue"><number>5</number></detail>
<extent unit="pages"><start>23-30</start><end>Pages</end></extent>
<extent unit="pages"><start>61-66</start><end>Pages</end></extent>
</part>

Instead of <start> and <end> (which assumes a single start point and a single end point, since only one of each is permissible), I think <list> is a better semantic
match for this:
https://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/userguide/part.html#list
<extent unit=”pages”>
<list>22–27, 91–92</list>
</extent>
Of course, whether Zotero interprets that correctly is a different question altogether. I’d

Greetings,
what is the MODS XML code supposed to be for an article with split pagination? Say the article is pages 23-30, and 61-66.
We are trying to make sure the export for Zotero is correct and we can't find any exemplars.
for more details see comments here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/327068
all the best,
