Thanks for explaining! In the next revision, I'll rename

+ check_split_1() to check_split_uniform() and
+ check_split_2() to check_split_non_uniform()

in an earlier patch before, fixing the wording, in this patch, to be

Separate the loops for check_split_uniform() and
check_split_non_uniform() calls. Expanding the range of order values
only applies for uniform splits, since non-uniform splits always split
a folio from order N to order N-1.
