Ok, basically humbuckers run 2 coils in series.. You can cut one out and run it LIKE a single coil, but the tone is usually nothing to write home about. Another option is to run them parallel. Parallel is similar to the coil cut tone, but humbucking, and usually sweeter and less harsh.. Compared to a normal bucker it's not as hot (so less bass, more highs etc) more clarity and slightly lower output.
Now if you want to coil split, you can run 1x push pull or switch and use that to split both, however parallel will have to be triggered for each pup individually.
I suggest do some googling and find out how parallel sounds vs coil cut. My point is actually if you want to coil cut for a single coil tone, you're USUALLY setting yourself up for disappointment/

hermetico wroteParallel can sound awesome, even in bridge humbuckers and, it works specially well to clean a hot humbucker.
Watch this video (song starts at 0:16):

From 0:16 to 0:47, bridge humbucker with coils in parallel
From 0:47 to 1:21, bridge full humbucker (series)
From 1:21 to the end, bridge humbucker parallel again.
The loudness drop isn't so dramatic, specially if you work with overdrive but, the pickup gains clarity and a little bit of punch.
