It isn't prohibited by the rules, so yes it can. I've looked at this.
Splitting fire will usually increase the probability of a suppression,
but
decrease the probability of casualties (and, as a result, morale rolls).
It
also forces the unit to stay in place; no shooting and scooting.

It's allowable, though.

Yes, they can.

This has been corrected in the Stargrunt 2 errata. I THINK the errata is
on
the Unofficial Stargrunt 2 site (can't remember a URL for it; try using
Google.com). A weapon can only be fired once per ACTIVATION, not turn.
So a
weapon CAN be fired twice in a turn; once in the unit's normal
activation, and
once if the unit is activated by a command squad.
