Sure, you can use a saw with a diamond blade to cut them (always cut wet if you can). One problem is, if you can see the cut end, it looks out of place. You can cut it long and use a chisel to rough the end up and make it look more natural though. Its just doing it that way is kinda doing it twice.
For a decient sized job, it would end up easier to just rent or buy a stone splitter. If you buy a used one, you wont be using it enough to make it worth less when you are done with the job so you could re-sell it for what you bought it for. You may be able to long term rent a splitter from a mason contractor (its not like they will be using it on jobs in this economy). Tool rental places should also have a splitter but with per day charges and a job you may not be wanting to pound out in a weekend, the rental fees add up quickly.
As mentioned, wedges will work but that also brings up a few other issues. First is you will need a good hammer drill to make a bunch of holes to put the wedges in. Second, when done, you will have a nice split edge with a bunch of half holes showing from the hammer drill. Not a problem if that edge is covered but if that edge is covered, may as well just cut them with a saw.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
