You can use the little popup to choose a page at the bottom. If you look in the archives of this mailing list for the original thread on the split view, you can see that I don't like it at all, and would rather not have it in the first place, as it has several fundamental usage problems. I compromised in giving what is there. Because I got very tired of the very long and circular discussion. Adding more to it, like in the feature requests you noticed, would open up those problems, and a whole can of worm.s It's therefore not gonna happen. Sorry, that discussion is closed (as I said, if you think the feature is compromised, I am happy to just remove it, that is the only alternative.)
