Marks are not like nodes. They can’t be ‘split’.
Have a careful read of the document model: [ProseMirror Guide](https://prosemirror.net/docs/guide/#doc)
You probably want to use the Node API to iterate the children of the parent node, collecting the adjacent nodes that have the same link mark on them.
