Split keys

Hi,
    We have come across tools like SSSS. Can I use these in Windows ? I am trying to split the public key. We are the encryptors. Does that make sense ?

Looks like according to PCI, GPG is not compliant because there is no mechanism to split keys using GPG. Is there a way ?

Thanks,
Mohan
