I don't understand what you mean?
Do you mean splitting because of policy?

3. has been rephrased and 4. added:

 3.  Organization having multiple IP connections to the Internet,
     trough more than one IP service provider are called "multi-
     homed".  Multi-homed organistations may obtain address space
     from one of their providers, their local registry of last
     resort, the RIPE NCC, or the global NIC, as is appropriate to
     their network configuration. These organisations are encouraged
     to contact the RIPE NCC for guidance.


4.   Organisations operating a network which spans several contries
     may obtain address space from a service provider, the RIPE NCC,
     or the global NIC, as is appropriate to their network confi-
     guration.  In many cases it will be best to obtain addresses
     for the whole network from the provider operating the main
     connection of the multi-national network to the Internet.  When
     in doubt, contact the RIPE NCC for guidance.
