I believe buggy does have a reaction of splitting up when he is cut but I believe its like luffy with bullets, he doesnt decide to bounce bullets back, its just a side effect of the fact that he is a rubberman, same with buggy, he doesn't always decide to split up when he is cut, it just happens because he is a "sectionman" (according to mangareader) but when he does decide to split up we know because he says bara bara or chop chop (or whatever other translation it would be). As for why he splits up when he gets surprised or excited I am pretty sure I saw in an SBS that oda does that as a joke for him "falling to pieces" only literally
