Yeah, they've thought of this. It's called structuring, and it's a crime[0].
Side note: I see this kind of response a lot on HN. Whenever a precisely-defined law or regulation comes up, there will be the inevitable tricksy engineers pointing out a bug in the program. Except they haven't read the whole program, but only a couple of stanzas. And it's not actually a program. It's not being interpreted by a computer, but by people. At a certain point, rules-laywering will get the actual lawyers to tell you to get out of here with that.
Repeating something I've written here before: Your adversaries are people, not bash scripts.
