When i first seen your post itself, it was interesting to me. I started a small research, but unsuccessful in that because of other reasons. But now got a good understanding, here is it, hope it will be useful for you.
Hope you understand the below code, if not, this is the explanation:
A perl application which writes a number every one second, and also handles SIGINT, by flusing and closing stdout, and exiting.
I executed this program, like this:
As expected, it started writing both in STDERR and also in STDOUT, so after some seconds i had given SIGINT like,
So the following was the outcome,
Tested whether everything was given to split, and does split processed ?
Yes.
Program wrote only 8 characters, and all are handled by split ( and it does not wait for 4096 as you have mentioned ).
So the final thing, you have to handle the signal and flush the output.
Hope it helps.

Is there an option or a way with the split command to rename the partitioned files with a counter. For example, can the files testaa, testab, testac be renamed to test1, test2, test3 from the split command without explicilty renaming files.
Thanks,

split
split(1) User Commands split(1)NAME
split - split a file into pieces
SYNOPSIS
split [-linecount | -l linecount] [-a suffixlength]
[file [name]]
split [-b n | nk | nm] [-a suffixlength] [file [name]]
DESCRIPTION
The split utility reads file and writes it in linecount-line pieces into a set of output-files. The name of the first output-file is name
with aa appended, and so on lexicographically, up to zz (a maximum of 676 files). The maximum length of name is 2 characters less than the
maximum filename length allowed by the filesystem. See statvfs(2). If no output name is given, x is used as the default (output-files will
be called xaa, xab, and so forth).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-linecount | -l linecount
Number of lines in each piece. Defaults to 1000 lines.
-a suffixlength
Uses suffixlength letters to form the suffix portion of the filenames of the split file. If -a is not specified, the default suffix
length is 2. If the sum of the name operand and the suffixlength option-argument would create a filename exceeding NAME_MAX bytes, an
error will result; split will exit with a diagnostic message and no files will be created.
-b n
Splits a file into pieces n bytes in size.
-b nk
Splits a file into pieces n*1024 bytes in size.
-b nm
Splits a file into pieces n*1048576 bytes in size.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
file The path name of the ordinary file to be split. If no input file is given or file is -, the standard input will be used.
name The prefix to be used for each of the files resulting from the split operation. If no name argument is given, x will be used as the
prefix of the output files. The combined length of the basename of prefix and suffixlength cannot exceed NAME_MAX bytes. See
OPTIONS.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of split when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables that affect the execution of split: LANG, LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_MES-
SAGES, and NLSPATH.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
