Could you split it? Yes. Should you split it? Questionable. Personally, I don't feel like the stress of splitting them/replanting is going to make them grow any faster. Plus then they'd each have half the roots/corm to take nutrients from. I'm sure you could split them and keep both parts alive just fine, but I don't believe the ends justify the means. Especially if the concern is that they aren't growing as fast as other plants....separating will likely just set them back farther.

IMO, just let it go. Maybe it will grow a little slower than others or take a while to get started, but then I'm sure they will do just fine.
