That limitation in the devtools/db-scripts has been around ever since split packages became available in pacman/makepkg. I would not bank on it getting fixed in the short term (or even in the long term...)
I wont got into details here but putting split packages into different repos is a "wont implement". It's more a limitation of how we use svn and the repos. There was a thread about the details on the mailing list. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
