Well, I've programmed in C for a while, but I think I can take a look :-)
1. create a new verb for the split command (better have three commands
for lines/words/letters, without any ui), see verbs.{cpp|h}
2. for code of the verb, look into selcue.cpp, _newTextBaselines(): it
takes a layout of a text object and gets the coordinates of its first
char for displaying a square mark there:
Geom::Point a = layout->characterAnchorPoint(layout->begin()) *
sp_item_i2d_affine(item);
All you need to do in your command is iterate over all chars instead,
see src/libnrtype/Layout-TNG.h for the interface of the text layout
object. That will give you x/y for each char, then you delete the
original item and create new text items with these x/y.
