You don't need a new splitter for the replace since QSplitter can handle more than 2 widgets. Say we have two widgets in a splitter:

QSplitter *splitter = new QSplitter(this);
setCentralWidget(splitter);

QTextEdit *widget0 = new QTextEdit;
QTextEdit *widget1 = new QTextEdit;

splitter->addWidget(widget0);
splitter->addWidget(widget1);

Now we can put a third widget between these two with:

QTextEdit *widget2 = new QTextEdit;
splitter->insertWidget(1, widget2);

Now we have the three widgets and two splitters between them in the order of widget0, widget2, widget1.

Update:

If the orientation of the second splitter is different, than:

QSplitter *splitter2 = new QSplitter;
splitter2->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical);
QTextEdit *widget2 = new QTextEdit("2");
splitter2->addWidget(widget0);
splitter2->addWidget(widget2);
splitter->insertWidget(0, splitter2);

Result:
