This is pretty similar to what you want right? https://keeb.io/blogs/news/the-nyquist-keyboard-a-split-60-ortholinear-board
Maybe we can bring that to massdrop?

currently on the hunt for something similar as well. there seems to be a ton of split 40%s but virtually no split 60-ish% (i'm sorry, but for me, anything smaller than a 5x6 grid would be counter productive)

the extra row on the left side may be a bit strange for me, but I would put keys like delete and enter over there. Have you seen the http://www.typematrix.com? I used that for a couple of years a while ago and got quite use to the idea of using the center for more. ErgoDox does the same thing.
Also, have you seen http://builder.swillkb.com/ which lets you take the layout and turn it into a cad file for getting it cut out? I might do this one day.

As I am currently handwiring one, (and, funny enough, i called mine the same) from fiddling with QMK i can tell you that there is no built-in support for a "Lets Split a Preonic" in there. I am now trying to learn enough C++ to extend wootpatoot's "Let's Split". We are so doomed!

chief_wrenchreally depends on how the 2 halves connect (as chief_wrench mentions) will determine what will be needed in the firmware.
Ergodox uses i2c with port expander on one half, controller on the other & talk to each other over TRRS (only 4 wires) and has been ported to many of the current popular custom firmwares.
worst case, give it a umbilical cord between the two, wired as a normal matrix, no fancy firmware trickery needed.

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?
I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".
