The “split=yes” option works only for table which aren’t aren't placed as float because
this mechanism has to know that it has to break the table into parts but then you don’t
need the split key for \bTABLE.

The location of the caption doesn’t matter. The number of the suffix for the subtables
can be changed but without a example I can’t tell why you get different results in your
example and in the real document.
