>From the manual:

 - Command: split N
 - Command: vsplit N
     Split the current frame vertically in two. The last accessed window
     not occupying a frame will be the second window.

     N is either a fraction of the form `x/y' or a number. If it is a
     fraction then the current frame is resized to that fraction of its
     original size and the new frame takes up the remaining space. For
     instance, `split 1/4' will split the current frame to a quarter of
     its original size and the new frame will then be 3/4 of the size of
     the original frame.

     If it is a pixel, the original frame is resized to that many
     pixels. If N has a minus sign before it, then the new frame will
     shrink by that many pixels.
