Yes, splitting Blue Slimes gives the new Slime that appears a 1/512 chance to be a Red Slime and a 511/512 chance to be Blue (or 1/256 and 255/256 respectively for BB).
If any of the splits of a Blue Slime dies though, and you continue piping, if you get a Red Slime from a split of that Slime, it won't drop didly squat for ya'. (Explanation
SlimeA1 -------------------------------- SlimeB1
splits to SlimeA2, A3, and A4 ------------ splits to SlimeB2, B3 and B4
You pipe some...... then one time.... SlimeB3 dies (from another Slime or you, it doesn't matter), but you think nothing of it... you continue to pipe.
If you eventually get a Red Slime from B1-4, it won't give anything, if you get the Red Slime from A1-4, it has the regular chance of dropping something. Since it's hard to tell which one died though, it makes it useless to go on if one dies because it's like your only piping one working Slime and one broken Slime.
So you can split Slimes and find Red ones but if any of the Slimes have died before, you should start over because if you eventually find a Red one, there's a 50/50 chance it was in the group that one died in....
See? Maybe?....

Too legit to quit.
