Assuming that the wheel travel is the same, the CV joint would have 
to have greater angular deflection than the swing axle. I don't know 
if that assumption is valid, but I'll bet it's close.

I checked a number of the on-line sources that I'm familiar with and 
didn't find split CV boots at any of them. I'm not doubting their 
existance, just their usefulness.
