A nice new feature would be to place a split icon in the edit icon list (either in Header -- possibly best idea to avoid clutter, or as a new item edit icon). This icon would split the CE elements from the selected element downwards and place then into a new Article and Edit that article (similar operation to duplicate article). This provides a nice convenient way to split an Article with 10 or more items into a new article.

Another way to do this would be to extend the EDIT MULTIPLE function and place another button at the bottom next to edit, copy, move, override, [split]. This will also allow it to split multiple non-contiguous CE's out to a new Article. This would be an excellent way to split large articles into other articles which can then be easily moved to other pages, if needed.

This function is similar to iPhoto's Event Splitter, where you upload photos and then realise that these don't all belong in the same event, but needs to be split at the selected photo into a new Event.
