I suppose they COULD do it. It wouldn't be an official Split Duty under the FARs though.
They would have to schedule it for 11+30 or less, the return leg would have to push before 6 AM, and here's the big one:

Speaking of CDO's. This trip didn't pay 10.5 either. This is about as bad of a CDO as they get. I'm assuming this was a cover for a late flight but they can still create CDO like trips when convenient and FAR 117 legal.
