Splitting stone
To answer your questions directly:
You will need one splitter. The items that come out of the splitter will be soulbound to the character that does the splitting. Here’s the process if you want to get that Chainsaw skin onto an alt:
1.) Buy a blue or white GS from the TP (make sure it’s the TP, not a vendor as those are soulbound on purchase), level doesn’t really matter.
2.) Transmute the appearance (not stats) of the Chainsaw onto the blue/white GS (use the stats from the blue/white GS).
3.) Put the transmuted GS into your bank (will only be account bound at this point).
4.) Switch to the alt you want to have the skin on, use the splitter with that character. When you use the splitter, the original GS (the exotic with the Chainsaw skin already applied) the white/blue GS and sigil should be produced, and will be soulbound to that character.
I’ve had friends transfer legendaries and ascended weapons to alts using this “trick.” If any one notices any of the above steps to be incorrect please let me know.
Essentially you can do this with any soulbound item. I believe jewelry is the only thing that’s ever truly soulbound (never tried transmuting it), as long as you have the cash for the splitter. Please note, you can’t use this to un-bind an item for sale on the TP. I do hope this functionality remains in game.

If I understand you right then the awnser is no. You only get the last skinn applied and a standard exotic. I transmuted the dead stop over the sclerite and thought to split them so i can use the sclerite on a different weapon. Sadly that dosn’t work like that… Wish i tested that before i bought 5 splitters -_-
Here’s the thread I originally used when I was figuring out how to do this type of stuff:

Angry Dutch — I totally understand your pain. I did the same thing and only got the skin I didn’t really want anymore and an exotic that resembled the Pearl crafted series as the “framework” for the stats. Live and learn I guess.
