That is how I currently understand it. When I use 'a split' I mean a single debit or credit.
When I use 'split transaction' I mean a transaction that has 3 or more combined debits/credits.

The Gnucash community has had this discussion many times in the past. My recollection is that the following terminology is accepted: * Each line is a "split," and thus a basic transaction has two such splits. * A transaction with more than two splits is referred to as a multi-split transaction. This terminology is not fully-agreed, but this is my recollection of those previous discussions. The best alternative terminology I recall was to use the word "entry" for what is now called a split, and reserve "split" for transactions with more than two entries. But that terminology has never been adopted by the community or in the documentation.
