"Any general advice for how to evaluate "too late to split?" positions cheerfully accepted."

White has a flat priming structure in your position, not a blitzing position. White isn't going to break the 7 or 8-point to hit loose in his inner board. You're in bad shape in the prime v prime battle with your weaker prime and lead in the race, so splitting is mandatory. Splitting makes it much easier for Blue to get to the edge of White's prime.
