I built a 6 element 432mhz yagi from instructions in the ARRL
Handbook. I used a 1" wood dowel for the beam and 1/4" aluminum rod
for the elements. I used a "T" match on the driven element. One on
each side, just like the illustrations show. And a 1/2 wavelength
phasing line.

But the instructions don't show or say if the driven element is split
in the middle.

Shouldn't the driven element be split.

The short answer is no.

The T-match produces a current through that portion.
