I think that with separate volume controls that is not possible while having to split coils, because you have to connect the Volume pots before going to the super-switch. Unless you use dual (stereo) volume pots, one circuit for each coil, to send the coils separately from the pot to the super-switch

You just have to ground the connection between the coils to split it. The two volumes do not negate the ability to split. The 3 position is the tricky one. Is the middle pickup bypassing all volume and tone controls?

That forum is mostly technical wiring stuff, and I've gotten some great help.
It's possible. Just figure out if you want the middle pickup to also be volume controllable. If so, then you could get a stacked pot for neck/mid or for brig/mid. Or a concentric pot for independent control.
N and B pup to coil tap switch, out to volume controls, volumes out to 5-way switch positions, M pup to 5-way switch position (unless vol is needed), 5-way output to tone control, from tone to 1/4" jack.
That’s the Guthrie wiring with the mini toggle apart from the repeated settings.
There is a Schaller mega switch that does the middle position like this and you could use a HB split switch with it. You would get all these options and two more but the arrangement on the switch would be slightly different.
I don’t care too much about the middle pickup volume control as long as I can get both humbuckers in the middle position with a separate volume control on the neck.
I’m hoping to be able to do the LP thing where I’m in the middle position and bump the neck volume down a notch.
I’d even be fine with a volume on the neck only and then a master volume if that made it possible
