Although it can be more work, you can UV map the object in Carrara.
Convert the Spline Object into a Vertex Model. Then Apply shading
domains to each half of the object (because you mentioned that you
need to split the Texturing into two parts). Use the UV Editor and
you'll be able to adjust the points an each half individually.
You may consider useing more than one shading domain to split up your
model. Things like the insides of the hole may be easier to
independently apply a UV map to instead of the half of the object.
In building the shader, you'll need to make a complex "layer list"
object that refers to the appropreicate texture map.
** If you are like me and place all the individual shading domain UV
pieces on 1 map, you will need to apply this one texture map to each
piece of the model. I find it easier to make one shader (by itself)
that has the color (diffuse) map, reflections, highlights, etc. and
use that as a reference map for each piece of the puzzle (figuratively
speaking).

Here is where I get into trouble, I want to add a texture maps to 2
sides of the part.
