That code also contains the various improvements I announced a month or two
ago about faster splitter performance and doing >6000 regions/pass.

Nope. No plugins with the splitter with that functionality. You'll have to
edit the code. However, part of my changes include a refactor that make it
feasible to put in a small 'shim', where you can get entities before they're
processed, where such a module may be cleanly added.
