    It does not sound like it.
    The split simply pauses your 14. If you ran out of hours, you must take a ten to get anything back.

    Now say you work 10, take 8 in the sleeper. Then you can finish off the 4.

    Thanks zvar, was just a hypothetical question. I've run into situations where a split would have been useful if a full 10 were not mandated
