You could write:

`-b SIZE'
`--bytes=SIZE'
     Put SIZE bytes of INPUT into each output file.  SIZE may be, or
     may be an integer optionally followed by, one of the following
     multiplicative suffixes:
          `b'     =>             512 ("blocks")
          `KB'    =>            1000 (KiloBytes)
          `K'     =>            1024 (KibiBytes)
          `MB'    =>       1000*1000 (MegaBytes)
          `M','m' =>       1024*1024 (MebiBytes)
          `GB'    =>  1000*1000*1000 (GigaBytes)
          `G'     =>  1024*1024*1024 (GibiBytes)
     and so on for `T', `P', `E', `Z', and `Y'.


For split --help you could write (I only have the german version):

GRÖßE kann eine der folgenden Abkürzungen sein (oder eine Zahl, die optional
von einer der Abkürzungen gefolgt wird):
KB 1000, K 1024, MB 1000x1000, M or m 1024x1024 und so weiter für G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
