A split infinitive is sometimes regarded as a type of tmesis.I think the evidence is conclusive enough, says editor Norman Lewis: it is perfectly correct to consciously split an infinitive whenever such an act increases the strength or clarity of your sentence (Word Power Made Easy, 1991). split infinitive is sometimes regarded as a type of tmesis.

1 A complete sentence has a subject and a predicate that work together to make a complete thought. 2  A SENTENCE FRAGMENT fails to be a sentence in the sense that it cannot stand by itself. 3  may locate something in time and place, but lack a subject-verb relationship. Remember: The length of a sentence really has nothing to do with whether a sentence is a run-on or not; even a very short sentence could be a run-on. 2  When two clauses are connected by only a comma, they are a run-on sentence that is called a comma-splice.
