Wouldn't 24/23 be the better split, though? 24/22 allows the D5 joker with major gammons.

I'm still not sold on splitting at all. There is a youtube video lesson Mochy did once where he had a similar position. He said this position is a blitzing position for white (a broken 3 or 4 prime), as opposed to a priming position (3+ prime that is connected). He said the runners should NOT split against a blitzing position. He said they must RUN. But you can't run with this roll. However, against a priming position you would split and/or advance anchor.
