I split mine not too far below the cable stops. I probably left more room between the cable stops and the splitters than I needed to. But it's not a big deal for me.
http://tinyurl.com/25ouc6m (see near the "H" in Hillborne) I kept them high in order to minimize dust/dirt attack, though I'm not sure that dust/dirt would really be a problem nor am I sure that I really lowered the dust/dirt amounts in any way. My splitters are pretty dusty. And work perfectly. One thing I'm thinking of doing is greasing the inside of the female half of each splitter. This is the half which one twists to connect/ disconnect the controls. Seems like greasing them would prevent "twist" on the cable by helping the head slip around inside its house. I wonder, though, if there's some reason I shouldn't do this. Perhaps aforementioned dust/dirt? In any case, I change my handlebars fairly frequently (once every other week or so) and have noticed no issues at all from the split- ness of the rear brake or either shifter. These things work well.
