You can split stacks of items in Nightingale by pressing the Shift key in your inventory. You can also use the button to split stacks while accessing a chest or different stations.

Alternatively, you can also split stacks after transferring items into a chest. This can be done by accessing a chest and then dragging a stack of items to it causing a slider to pop up. You can use the slider to confirm how many items you want to transfer into the chest, hence breaking up the stack.
