    It would be nice if we could have it for version 3.5 or 3.6 .

    it can be done already, in some way

    Terrain.SetNeighbors , Application.LoadLevelAdditiveAsync and Application.LoadLevelAdditive are some functions you might be interrested in.

    There is a plugin thing you can purchase, called "Stitchscape", it stitches all terrains you select together.

    Yes, stitching together terrains is possible — but the converse, splitting a terrain into smaller pieces?

    You would have to write a plugin that reads all the data from the terrainData and divides it into smaller pieces. Totally doable, but as far as I know there is no pre-made one click solution for this.

    I have just released an editor extension that allows you take a big terrain and slit it into smaller pieces; it's called the Terrain Slicing Neighboring Kit and is available on the asset store for 5$. You can divide your terrain into 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024, or even 4096 smaller terrains. Trees, textures, etc are all replicated. Have a look at this forum post for more information: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/163640-Released-Terrain-Slicing-amp-Neighboring-Kit
