W.r.t. splitting dumps, is it safe to change the DLE file anytime? I'm
afraid of confusing amanda by changing the DLE file...

Yes, you can change the disklist at any time. You'll just need to remember when you are going to restore something, that backups before the split date are found on a different `disk' from those after. That is for example, the file server:/dir/subdir/file:
before split, in amrecover you'd do
        sethost server
        setdisk /dir
        cd subdir
        add file
after split, that becomes:
        sethost server
        setdisk /dir/subdir
        add file

Also when amanda first sees the newly created DLEs, she will have to do a level 0 on them; you might want to stage splitting of several disks over a few days, or possibly right before a level 0 is due.
