I've thought about this in the past too but I don't think the devs will allow splitting. To make an SNI you have to pay 1 AWD no matter what size it is so if someone wanted to sell 10 100SP SNIs they'd have to pay 10 AWD to make them. If we could split them without paying a player would just create a single 1000SP SNI for 1 AWD and make 10 splits. It's not exactly a lot of AWD for a few but if a bunch of people start doing it the loss of AWD fees would go down a lot. If they allow splitting at all it would probably be done in the Skill Transfer Terminal so that you had to pay the 1 AWD per split. Although this would still get around the 5% skill loss penalty so I don't know that it'll ever happen.

Merging shouldn't be a problem though since the player(s) was/were charged 1 AWD for each of the previously-created SNIs. Making it so that they can be merged would just make it more likely that a person buying SNIs is likely to want to insert it instead of reselling it. Though this could allow a player to buy several small SNIs and merge them into one big one to sell for more overall AWD on the market and this would also get around the 5% skill loss penalty for someone wanting to sell chips with high percentages.
