Well, of course it is the software that looks for the spaces or counts
perforations. All the roll film adapter does is move the film back and
forth as commanded by the software.
Nikon Scan looks at the spaces. I have no idea what Vuescan uses even
though I use it.
If I had this problem, I would put the film in the manual film strip adapter
and go onward. He only has one roll to split (as I understand his problem).
I certainly would not rely on any automatic device with whatever software to
determine where one frame ends and another begins.
