I would let nature take it's course! I wouldn't split them too aggressively.
A capped queen cell should hatch after 7-10 days.

Thanks I am looking at another cutout this morning. So I may just leave everyone alone as long as I see good activity and check for fresh eggs in split in 3 weeks?
after emerging the queen will need another week or so before it starts laying... so yeah, 3 weeks sounds about right, maybe give it a few more days before you make a judgement.
