Mangave

As I'm typing, the subject line looks like the title of a low grade horror
movie.
There was a discussion of the Macho Mocha bigeneric hybrid (ex Yuccado) a
few months ago. I have a follow up observation and question. Land crabs
discovered and completely defoliated my Macho Mocha in just two nights,
eating well into the center. I potted it up in a tall, smooth-sided pot to
see if it would recover and after 6 months find that I now have a two-headed
plant.
So my question(s): Is it possible to split agave or manfreda much like you
split some bulbs for propagation purposes? Has anyone attempted this and
are there any tricks to reduce mortality? Is dry season splitting likely to
be better than rainy season?
I'd like to have some idea before I sharpen my cutlass and start
experimenting with my excess agave.
Regards,
Phil Andrews
