Hi! This is a very old bug that hasn't been taken care of.

In my opinion this is not a Documentation bug because the problem is with the
nomenclature used in the commands in LO Calc. The use of "Split cells" is
incorrect and "Unmerge cells" is a better terminology.

Also, in MS Excel the command is called "Unmerge cells".

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/merge-and-unmerge-cells-5cbd15d5-9375-4540-907f-c673a93fcedf

I believe the command should be renamed accordingly both in the Core:

https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/UI/CalcCommands.xcu

... and in the Help page / Documentation:

https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/guide/table_cellmerge.html

Since this is a change to the name of a much used command, I would like to hear
the opinions of others on this matter before proceeding with a fix.
