1. What would you suggest for the name of this functionality? Split-message? Split-Toasts? Blahblahblah?

split-message seems ok ("toast slice" not, sorry Jeronimo, but that doesn't really tell what the function is about IMHO).

Why using a double percent character? I guess the reason for that is because of possible usage in the message itself. What you could do in that case (and what I also always do in such cases) is making use of a "literal" character ("escape" character is maybe the proper name, dunno?).

In the rare case that people want to use the delimiter in the message, they should prefix it with "\". In that way, your plugin knows that the next character should be taken literally and not as a delimiter.

Doing this, makes 1 character delimiters possible, which is more convenient for the user IMHO (and the use of "\" in this way is actually something you'll find in other programs and languages).

The delimiter itself, dunno, but maybe something even less used than "%", yet easy typeable... hmmm... "^" or "#" maybe? dunno...
