In conditional prediction markets with exclusive conditionals, it should be possible to let people invest $N and then have $N to trade with in each of the markets.
(I think Manifold considered adding this functionality at some point.)
tldr: Gives a general framework that would allow people to make this kind of trade with only $N in capital, just as a natural consequence of the trading rules of the market.
Anyway, I definitely agree that Manifold should add the feature you describe! (As for general logical share splitting, well, it would be nice, but probably far too much work to convert the existing codebase over.)

Sorry for the self promotion, but some folks may find this post relevant: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/uDXRxF9tGqGX5bGT4/logical-share-splitting (ctl-F for “Application: Conditional prediction markets”)
