Yeah, go ahead and split it now. You can either add more to the secondary,
or leave it in longer. The former is preferable, because the tannin will
help the wine clear by itself. I generally DON'T add the oak until I move to
a secondary, and then it stays for 2 months. That seems to work for me as
well as adding it to the primary. If you put it in a some sort of nylon bag,
you can transfer it from primary to secondary much more easily, than if you
just spoon it in.
