This seems to happen no matter which bookmark you start from and it drives me nuts. My current game started in 769 and after only 100 years Aquitaine and Burgundy broke free but the Karlings managed to keep Italy. Now half of Europe is a blue, pink, purple, red and white checkerboard.

Only 789?!? 
Anyway, Europe will EVENTUALLY sort itself out.
My borders used to be like that, but now they're starting to actually look pretty good.
....
it takes about 300 years though

The irony is that a week ago, people we complaining that the blobs always form and never disintegrate.

I am one of those who would like blobs to desintegrate some time instead of lasting forever. So I would enjoy so much a situation like the one in the screenshot for once.
But I have the feeling that it is CK2+ because the buttons and so do not look like in my 'official' game.

I'm finally glad to see the AI clever enough to actually form titles and be able to hold on to it (without me being vassal, owning half the realm and having to fight the war for my liege) instead of being useless placeholders waiting to be conquered. That change away of elective factions was for the better IMO.
Go figure...

This is ck2+ a mod with ways to ruin blobs and it doesn't even matter because the blob didn't form. Charlie didn't happen for whatever reason. In ck2 blobs still don't disintegrate.

What mod is this? I don't recognize the names/localizations(?) for the Frankish administrative divisions from Vanilla CK2. I've played several Charlemagne starts in the current patch series and rarely see such chaos that doesn't mostly fix itself in 50 years.
But partible inheritance in general is accurate. The problem is the lack of civil wars and control of divided land. Allowing the player to arrange the distribution with limits placed (such as how EU4 now forces you to only take land one can core) to prevent deliberate enclaves to weaken siblings on succession should work.

Charlie actually formed an empire in your game? In my most recent game he lost 2 massive council revolts. Then lost against the saxons. Then gained the fat nickname before dying in battle against himself and being succeeded by the son of Karloman.

They do in my games. Even when I'm not the one doing it.
In the past six months, I've seen Abbasids, Umayyeds, Francia, and various nomad blobs all fall apart more than once.
The only blob I rarely see disintegrate are the Byzantines, but I almost never see them expand that much either without either my direct control or indirect help (by crushing the Abbasid's army, for example).

It's Austrasia, descendants of Karloman who somehow survived

And yes, this is ck2+
I think Europe has its border gore because Charlamagne never forms E_Frankia. In about 20 CM start playthroughs I've never seen it happen. I once kept giving CM money to see if he formed the title (after he had taken saxony) and I had to give him 15000 before he did, because the first thing he did was to create loads of duchies, then kingdoms, then build castles in every empty holding in his demesne, and then finally E_Frankia.
The OP image reminds me of what the game looked like with the levies bug (when the AI couldn't disband levies - and Paradox took a 3 week vacation). I don't see the appeal, personally.
