But such large tiles are not displayed by Mapsource and Basecamp. They display mkgmap generated tiles only if the longitude and latitude tile size is below 179.9x°. I didn't measured the exact x (179.9° works, 179.99° does not work).
So a tile with the bounds <bounds minlat="-89.0" minlon="-10.0" maxlat="90.0" maxlon="169.9"/> can be compiled and displayed with MapSource and Basecamp.

So splitter could use a max limit of 179° for lat and lon but I don't know if that makes sense at all.
Perhaps this explains why my map of New Zealand is not being shown at certain zoomlevels in MapSource when then 180° is in view. See: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=9809
