Comment #2 by Benoît MINISINI:

No, this is the expected behaviour.

When an escape character is read (a double quote in your example), everything is read until the next escape character to form a splitted element, EXCEPT if two successive escape characters are encountered. In that case, the two successive escape characters are replaced by one, and the process continue until the next single escape character.

This is the way escape characters are quoted for Split().

In other words:

Split("a 'b ''c' 'd' 'e'", " ", "'", False, True) returns ["a", "'b 'c'", "'d'", "'e'"]
