If it eventually becomes two people, than it is the beginnings of two people (two souls if you subscribe to the religious stuff, which I do not). If it eventually becomes one again, it is just one person. Who says that an embryo has to be defined as one person rather than multiple people, or vice versa. If it splits, than it is just a more complicated process of arriving at the same ends.
