So if I split up a resource into two new resources, where should the old link point to? It seems to me never changing URLs could only ever fully work for applications where the datamodel never changes.

In this case I would try and have the old resource url display a page that links to the two new resources. It’s not that the content of a page should never change but that links into your site shouldn’t break
