I can't really follow you here...
Sure you have to arrange all the keys in a senseful way in different 
folders (directories) under /apps/balsa but what do you mean with split?

It's enough if there are

/apps/balsa/UserData
/apps/balsa/View
/apps/balsa/Mailboxes
/apps/balsa/Mails (for things like forwarding and such...)

with perhaps other dirs there...
 From what I've learned in [1] you are able to make every key only 
readable and to distribute every key with another plugin (and that way to 
have network-wide unchangeable presets)

Just my 0,0000002 ct :-)
