I think this is true, The split P pickup should be wired with the halves
reversed to each other....

If the pickups are designed to be used in a humbucking arrangement, one
should be reverse wound with respect to the other (electrically in- phase,
magnetically out-of-phase). In the case of the split P-Bass pickup, since
they are each picking up different strings, I suppose that one would get a
humbucking arrangement by wiring them out-of-phase even of they were both
wound in the same direction.
