Don't panic, that kind of splitting is just growing pains and should be fine and they will heal up.

I've noticed that splitting before like clockwork when we get cold nights around the first week or two after pollination. It doesn't normally develop into an actual stem split.

Check this out, I´ve had similar things happen in the past, but since I have seen how well the plants and fruit and stems can cope with that kind of splits, they won´t cause me any sleepless nights.
