Is it possible to support iOS 9's multitasking (e.g. split screen) for iPhone/iPod apps as opposed to a Univeral app?
My existing app would need a full UI redesign to look good on an iPad screen, but it would look fine right away on a split screen, which is only half as big.
In my own tests I've only been able to get it to work with a Universal app, but I haven't been able to find any Apple documentation on this yet, so I'm hoping someone here might have some info.

No.

They're not explicit about it, because it seems obvious on its face, as I think you understand. You can infer it from a few places though. For example this documentation says:
In your project’s
Info.plistfile, in the “Supported interface orientations (iPad)” array, declare support for all four device orientations, as shown here:
It should be obvious that the “Supported interface orientations (iPad)” array won't be read on an iPhone-only app.
