What Happens Next

If an order on the store front-end is placed containing different values for the Split Order Attribute, the customer will be shown that their order has 2 order numbers in the Order Success screen. The orders will have the same order number but will have a -1, -2 etc... added to the end.

In the Admin, each order can be individually managed, invoiced, shipped, refunded etc...

Change Split Order Suffix

In Orders > Settings you can configure Split Order Numbers to user Letters as a suffix rather than numbers. This will make split orders have -A, -B, -C at the end of the Order number.
