Should we assume the numbers are initially positive and distinct, too?

They must be, because otherwise you'd never be allowed to split or combine to create the final list.

Technically there are cases in which you can. The repeated values will act like separators that you cannot act on (because once you act on one, as you said one cannot create the final list again), but then it becomes multiple instances of the puzzle which seems pointless
