I set and pulled poles for my job with Southwestern Bell for 12 years. The pole is treated from top to bottom, not just bottom. Once you cut the pole it will start to rot as the inside is not treated. It will take a few years but it will happen. Also the part that is, or was, at the groundline will rot first. If you can, cut off the bottom 6 ft. and use the upper part. I understand why you want to split it but that will reduce the life unless you treat the area you cut.
