the graphics are always centered in the cell. therefore you have to set
the bounding box of the graphic to the cell size

the following should give what you want (untested)
\startuniqueMPgraphic{splittop}
draw (0,0.725*OverlayHeight)--(OverlayWidth,0.725*OverlayHeight);
setbounds currentpicture to (unitsquare xyscaled (OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight)) ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
in order to save some typing you could define a macro
\startMPinclusions
def FitToOverlay =
setbounds currentpicture to (unitsquare xyscaled (OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight)) ;
enddef;
\stopMPinclusions
\startuniqueMPgraphic{splittop}
draw (0,0.725*OverlayHeight)--(OverlayWidth,0.725*OverlayHeight);
FitToOverlay ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
