I agree with Thomas that there is no current way to set an interactive  
alert like this.  (I have no idea whether the plugin framework even  
allows for something like this.)  However, you might be able to create  
a report that displays any transactions that have an amount over the  
limit, and you could check that on a regular basis.

However, for a transaction that does exceed the limit, would you want  
two splits or three?  If you start with the split for the 4,55 fixed  
amount, then when you look at the remaining total for the meal, if it  
is under the limit, you are done.  If it is over the limit, you set  
that split to 13,15, and then put the remaining amount to a third split  
to the "non deductible" category.
