Writers should avoid splitting an infinitive when:-

the sentence is already clear.

it sounds awkward to split the infinitive.

too much information is inserted between the two parts of the infinitive.

Explanation:

An infinitive is a form of a verb used with '-to'. For example, to walk, to dance. A split infinitive is created when we place an adverb or adverbial phrase between 'to' and the 'verb'. Like to gently speak, to casually walk and so on.

But, it is not always necessary to split an infinitive. It should only be used when write wants to emphasize something.

If the sentence is already clear and it sounds awkward when we split the infinitive, it should not be used. Also, if it looks like too much information is inserted between the two parts of infinitive, it should not be split.
