Well, that's a theory alright. But the second half fails.
The reason the Forward Unto Dawn broke in half was the fact that the slipspace portal collapsed when the unfinished Installation 04-2 fired so close to the Ark. So, part of the ship transitions to normal space faster than the other and the slower half (Chief's half) is left stranded somewhere between Earth and the Ark. Source=Halo Encyclopedia.
