I think that this is a general remark that would better be documented with
the -c option, something like this:
-c filename
--read-config=filename
The given file is opened and each line is an option setting of
the form option=value, any option that could be used on the command
line can be used, however you omit the leading '--'. The short
option names with a single '-' cannot be used, simply use the
long name instead.

Please feel free to improve the wording. I wouldn't mention splitter.jar
in the help text, because the config file may be edited by hand.
Best regards,
Marko
