  There's no way to do this, currently.

  I can't offer any promises, but I will look into it.

  There's not really a tidy way to do this, but it is possible to have a custom script search a given ActionList for such lines, separate them, and re-assign the IDs:

  #if UNITY_EDITOR
  
  using UnityEngine;
  using AC;
  
  public class SeparateSplitActions : MonoBehaviour
  {
  
      public ActionList actionList;
  
      [ContextMenu ("Split actions")]
      public void SplitActions ()
      {
          if (actionList == null) return;
  
          int numSplit = 0;
          for (int i = 0; i < actionList.actions.Count; i++)
          {
              if (!(actionList.actions[i] is ActionSpeech)) continue;
  
              ActionSpeech actionSpeech = (ActionSpeech) actionList.actions[i];
              if (actionSpeech.GetNumTranslatables () <= 1) continue;
  
              string _text = actionSpeech.messageText.Replace ("\\n", "\n");
              string[] textArray = _text.Split (ActionSpeech.stringSeparators, System.StringSplitOptions.None);
  
              int[] idArray = actionSpeech.multiLineIDs;
  
              actionSpeech.messageText = textArray[0];
              actionSpeech.multiLineIDs = new int[0];
  
              for (int t = 1; t < textArray.Length; t++)
              {
                  int lineID = -1;
                  if ((t-1) < idArray.Length)
                  {
                      lineID = idArray[t-1];
                  }
  
                  ActionSpeech newSpeech = ActionSpeech.CreateNew (actionSpeech.speaker, textArray[t], lineID, actionSpeech.willWait);
                  newSpeech.isPlayer = actionSpeech.isPlayer;
                  newSpeech.isBackground = actionSpeech.isBackground;
                  newSpeech.waitTimeOffset = actionSpeech.waitTimeOffset;
                  newSpeech.NodeRect = new Rect (actionSpeech.NodeRect.x + 200 + (t * 20), actionSpeech.NodeRect.y + (t * 20), actionSpeech.NodeRect.width, actionSpeech.NodeRect.height);
                  newSpeech.endings = new System.Collections.Generic.List<ActionEnd> () { Action.GenerateStopActionEnd () };
                  actionList.actions.Add (newSpeech);
              }
  
              numSplit ++;
          }
  
          if (numSplit > 0)
          {
              Debug.Log ("Separated " + numSplit + " Actions");
              UnityEditor.EditorUtility.SetDirty (actionList);
          }
      }
  
  }
  
  #endif
  

  To use it, copy/paste into a C# file named SeparateSplitActions, put in the scene, fill in its Inspector, and use the context menu to run "Split actions".

  It won't fix the connections for the new Actions, but it should at least generate new Actions and assign them their old speech line ID values.

  Thank you very much for the code. I had no time yet to test it, but will ASAP.

  I tested the code and it works great. I just added the parameterID atttribute and the connections of the new Actions:

  #if UNITY_EDITOR
  
  using UnityEngine;
  using AC;
  
  public class SeparateSplitActions : MonoBehaviour
  {
  
      public ActionList actionList;
  
      [ContextMenu ("Split actions")]
      public void SplitActions ()
      {
          if (actionList == null) return;
  
          int numSplit = 0;
          for (int i = 0; i < actionList.actions.Count; i++)
          {
              if (!(actionList.actions[i] is ActionSpeech)) continue;
  
              ActionSpeech actionSpeech = (ActionSpeech) actionList.actions[i];
              if (actionSpeech.GetNumTranslatables () <= 1) continue;
  
              string _text = actionSpeech.messageText.Replace ("\\n", "\n");
              string[] textArray = _text.Split (ActionSpeech.stringSeparators, System.StringSplitOptions.None);
  
              int[] idArray = actionSpeech.multiLineIDs;
  
              actionSpeech.messageText = textArray[0];
              actionSpeech.multiLineIDs = new int[0];
  
              Action lastActionSpeech = actionSpeech;
              ActionEnd originalActionEnd = lastActionSpeech.endings[0];
  
              for (int t = 1; t < textArray.Length; t++)
              {
                  int lineID = -1;
                  if ((t-1) < idArray.Length)
                  {
                      lineID = idArray[t-1];
                  }
  
                  ActionSpeech newSpeech = ActionSpeech.CreateNew (actionSpeech.speaker, textArray[t], lineID, actionSpeech.willWait);
                  newSpeech.speaker = actionSpeech.speaker;
                  newSpeech.parameterID = actionSpeech.parameterID;
                  newSpeech.isPlayer = actionSpeech.isPlayer;
                  newSpeech.isBackground = actionSpeech.isBackground;
                  newSpeech.waitTimeOffset = actionSpeech.waitTimeOffset;
                  newSpeech.NodeRect = new Rect (actionSpeech.NodeRect.x + 200 + (t * 20), actionSpeech.NodeRect.y + (t * 20), actionSpeech.NodeRect.width, actionSpeech.NodeRect.height);
                  newSpeech.endings = new System.Collections.Generic.List<ActionEnd> () { Action.GenerateStopActionEnd () };
                  actionList.actions.Add (newSpeech);
  
                  // Reconnect Actions
                  lastActionSpeech.SetOutput(new ActionEnd(actionList.actions.IndexOf(newSpeech)));
                  lastActionSpeech = (ActionSpeech) actionList.actions[actionList.actions.IndexOf(newSpeech)];
              }
              lastActionSpeech.SetOutput(originalActionEnd);
  
              numSplit ++;
          }
  
          if (numSplit > 0)
          {
              Debug.Log ("Separated " + numSplit + " Actions");
              UnityEditor.EditorUtility.SetDirty (actionList);
          }
      }
  
  }
