I've tried split keyboards. They feel unnatural. I feel like I type better/faster when my hands are closer together.
The single greatest thing I've ever done to completely cure RSI pain while typing is eliminating "wrist yaw" - i.e., maintaining a mostly straight line from my elbow to my knuckles. The bonus is that I can type comfortably on any keyboard.
