What actually gets gained by splitting it? The majority of the size is actually the various forms of the release notes + translations > 3.

That sounds plausible for just the kernel, but the ordering algorithm used is a bit more complex. See rpm/lib/depends.c:rpmtsOrder() if you want all of the grotty details. We don't do transaction splitting and if we're to do it, it needs to be done in a more general fashion rather than special-casing the kernel.
