Okay, first off, the pricing...

If you buy 100 points, but break it into two contracts, do you still get pricing for 100 points, or 2 50 point incentives?

Secondly,

Is there any benefit to splitting resorts for 2 50pt contracts? 50 points is not going to get you a prime week anyway, so whats the diff?

Thanks in advance!

You should get the incetives for the total amount of points purchased at a single resort, it doesn't matter how many contracts you split them into. However, this may or may not apply if you intend to split the 100 points between 2 different resorts. If these are add-ons they should let you but your guide can answer that question for you.

You are correct that 50 pts at a particular resort won't get you but a few nights in certain seasons, but you can bank & borrow to have 150 pts to use every 3rd year. You would only have the 11-month booking advantage at your home resort(s), so splitting them between 2 different resorts limits how many nights you can book 8-11 months out at each home resort. But at the 7month mark all your points can be combined together for stays at any DVC resort.

If you are really set on staying at a particular resort consistently then get all 100pts at that resort. If you don't need the 11-month booking advantage and/or don't care which resort you end up at then it doesn't matter so much so I say go for the resorts with the lowest dues.
 
The benefit with smaller contracts is that they usually sell for more money and they sell faster.

And if you have smaller contracts, and years down the road intend on downsizing or making fewer trips to Disney, you can still be a DVC member and have access to whatever perks, but perhaps not be committed to paying as much in dues as you would before.

I have 10 contracts, and the only "large" one I have is 150, one at 100, one at 86, two at 55, three at 50, one at 65 and one at 25. As the previous poster said with banking and borrowing, you could easily have 150+ points.
