Splitting does not work across backends.  Gnus iterates over all
backends, finds one that reads mail.  Then it fetches mail according
to mail-sources and splits it according to nnmail-split-methods.  Then
when it comes to the second backend, there is nothing to split because
all mail has gone.

Theoretically, you could have two files and use per-server variables
to set mail-sources to the first file and nnmail-split-methods to one
value for the first server, and to set mail-sources to the second file
and set nnmail-split-methods to another value for the second server.
Then remains the question how to split the incoming mail into two
files...

This is not pretty.
