Your proposed second sentence is not a sentence (although it
could be fixed without too much trouble).   The original one is
correct.  

However, there is hope for your suggestion of breaking that
sentence up.  The RFC Editor has a long and successful history
of editing my long, complex-structure, sentences into multiple
shorter ones.  Usually I don't fight them on it :-)
