@bobble There's no definitive list of "legal" anything, because it varies from setter to setter. For splitting def and wordplay, my general rule is that the splitter -- if one exists -- must indicate the relationship between the two parts. So something like "[wp] to form [def]" is perfectly fine -- it tells you the wordplay, and then that those parts together will form the thing defined by the definition.
