That's what i have done before i'm using template.args and i will do this 
again in the future.

As you remember, you gave me the hint 'keep it simple' and your command line 
includes tiles/template.args, not tiles/*.o5m ;-)

this are my new old command lines for the basemap

java -ea -Xmx6G 
-jar /home/bernd/map_build/splitter-r421/splitter.jar  > splitter.log  
--geonames-file=/home/bernd/map_build/cities15000.zip 
--mapid=65000001  
--output=o5m  
--precomp-sea=/home/bernd/map_build/sea_20150302.zip 
--write-kml=bonn.kml  
--keep-complete  
--overlap=0  
--split-file=/home/bernd/map_build/areas/bonn_areas.list 
/home/bernd/map_build/o5m/bonn.o5m

java -ea -Xmx6G  
-jar /home/bernd/map_build/mkgmap-housenumbers2-r3490/mkgmap.jar  
--bounds=/home/bernd/map_build/bounds_20150302.zip 
--precomp-sea=/home/bernd/map_build/sea_20150302.zip 
--generate-sea  
--style-file=/home/bernd/map_build/styles/basemap_style  
--name-tag-list=name:de,name,name:en,int_name 
--mapname=65001001 
--family-id=4 
--product-id=44 
--description=bonn_20150306_1700_basemap 
--family-name=Basemap 
--draw-priority=10  
-c /home/bernd/map_build/styles/options 
/home/bernd/map_build/tiles/*.o5m  
/home/bernd/map_build/styles/styles_typ.txt

splitter.log includes lines like
Area 65010001: 2322432,370688 to 2367488,401408 covers (0x237000,0x5a800) to 
(0x242000,0x62000) DE-Wiesbaden

bonn.kml
      <description>
        <![CDATA[DE-Wiesbaden]]>
      </description>
and my layer a description
bonn_20150306_1700_basemap

BTW: the Oregon 650 don't show the family-name, the Oregon 450 shos it, but 
this seems to be a limit of the device
