Brief Answer:
Normal variation only.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome to HCM.

As an Urologist, i assure you, there's nothing to worry about.

When the volume of urine is low, the walls of the external opening at the tip of penis, may get blocked, with secretions from inside the urinary tube.
This causes a split stream.
When the volume of urine is more, the force causes wide opening of the tip, hence a single stream of urine. So, it's just a normal variation.
Hope your doubt is cleared.
Wish you good health.
