My lower spreaders also each have a tiny crack at the trailing edge. The crack is about 1/8" - 1/4", on the middle of the seam. My rig inspector didn't seem at all concerned about it, and there were bigger issues to tackle first. I'd have to see a picture to know how bad your's looks, but my solution has been to not worry about it and just go sailing. The way the spreaders take load, I don't think it poses much concern.
