Help with RT-11 'Split' Utility

I am having problems with the unsupported 'split' utility on a
PDP-11/23+ running RT-11 5.03

I am trying to split a 35000 block file into 3 files of similar sizes.
I understand that you use octal values for block boundaries. Here is
the command line that I have been using unsuccessfully:

The octal value of 35000 is 104270.

.split bak1.dsk,bak2.dsk,bak3.dsk=jul28.dsk/b:34757:69513
(where 69513 = 104270-34757)

However, I receive the following error:
?SPLIT-E-Invalid command

I need some help on how to specify the block boundaries.

Thanks,
Barry
