As usual, you don't even mention the command you are running,
let alone sox's response or any description of the results.

On my 14.3.1 installation, the following works just fine.

$ sox file.wav piece_%4n.wav trim : newfile : restart
$ ls -l piece*wav
-rw-r--r--  1 hans  staff  1440080 Oct  1 21:01 piece_0001.wav
-rw-r--r--  1 hans  staff  1440080 Oct  1 21:01 piece_0002.wav
-rw-r--r--  1 hans  staff  1440080 Oct  1 21:01 piece_0003.wav
-rw-r--r--  1 hans  staff   368720 Oct  1 21:01 piece_0004.wav
