I don't think a third split is needed. To me it looks like there are three 
cases:

meal price in the range 0 .. 4,55:

  one split with the full amount to the non-deductable category

meal price in the range 4,55 .. 17,70:

  one split with 4,55 to the non-deductable category
  remainder to the full amount to the deductable category

meal price beyond 17,70

  one split with 13,15 to the deductable category
  remainder to the full amount to the non-deductable category
