I would really not recommend it. That amount of floor space might work for some of the smaller dwarf species, but once you divide a detolf in half the amount of floor space really isn't that good unfortunately.

For a much better space saving option you could look into some sort of shelving system where you could have multiple nicely sized cages stacked vertically. It may not look as nice as a single detolf divided, but it'll be better for the hamsters which is much more important. It's also far more secure than just dividing a detolf!
