Is it possible, starting from 1806 (after Jena-Auerstadt) to keep Germany divided. Preferably, surviving Kingdoms of Saxony, Bavaria, Bohemia and perhaps a Kingdom of Westphalia and/or Hanover? In particular, Prussia should be restricted to the east, and should have nothing to do west of the Electorate of Brandenburg. Bonus points if it loses Silesia as well. Note, Austria grabbing everything instead of Prussia is not an option.

The second part of the question is - how will this benefit France? Would a France that restricted itself to west of the Rhine (perhaps taking Savoy-Piedmont and the French parts of Switzerland, at best, in the south) be a viable alternative that could keep those borders to our age?

Opinions would be greatly appreciated. Also, suggestions for solid references (both online and books) on the timeline would be greatly appreciated.
