Dear Donald, Splitting them randomly, or drawing new internal boundaries? For the former I'm afraid I don't know but someone on the list is certain to be able to write some code; the latter could be done nicely if expensively with Analyze AVW. We needed such a function for our atlasing work some years ago (the 2007 Neuroimage paper on the "statistical neuroanatomy" of the inferior frontal gyrus), and the developers kindly added a button called "Split ROI" which appears in the ROI module when you call up the Edit functions. This leaves the original outer boundaries untouched and allows to draw any new internal boundaries, defining the newly created "sub-ROIs" as entirely new ones or adding them to existing ones.
