You're saying the 'file in question', navbar.html, is generated. Can't
you generate separate files? Or, instead of splitting it up and
pasting it their respective zones, just split it up once, into
different files. Those files you can then include through SSI or php
includes. A change then only has to be made once to this set of files
(formerly one navbar.html file).

If you give more info on the generation of this navbar.html file,
maybe someone will see a better way to get the result you're after.
