Sounds very ingenious and effective.  The only problem is that I can't 
picture it.  Can you give us a little more info?

By separating two blocks to the approximate diameter of the toroids, and using a drill bit on the opposite side of the core, in the middle between the blocks, the vice will split them in two nearly perfect every time.  As long as you keep the halves matched up in pairs, they can be placed back together with an almost imperceptible crack between them.  I think the coupling in this manner is actually much better than the traditional split cores could ever be.
