Doctor Has Prescribed Half Of Ciplar LA 20 Mg For

Doctor has prescribed half of Ciplar LA 20 mg for my 10-year-old son. We have started the tablet since the last 3 days. We are currently giving this at night 9 pm since that time he is available with us. He is also on Warfarin at 6pm dosage of 4mg and 5mg.
My questions:
1. While cutting a 20 mg LA the exact half is not achieved. some bit gets powdered. is it ok to give such parts which may be a 40% one day and 60% other
2. Since Ciplar LA 10 mg is not available at any chemist can we give Ciplar 10 instead of half of Ciplar 20mg?

Kindly guide.
