I am not familiar with your usage of the word "split", but I don't think
it's standard for GnuCash.

"Data Entry Concepts":"Transactions" in the Tutorial and Concepts Guide
says: "A line within a transaction that records the account and amount
of money involved is called a split. A transaction can contain an
arbitrary number of splits."

Thus, we should never call a transaction a split, but we can speak of
the number of splits in a transaction. With trivial exceptions, every
transaction contains two or more splits, though in Basic Ledger view of
an account register the splits for that account are hidden.

Please, let's use standard GnuCash terminology, especially in
conversation with newer users. They have enough to learn without being
confused by inconsistent terminology.
