Use
string.split(/\s*(?<!\S)([^\s<>]+(?:\s+[^\s<>]+)*)(?!\S)\s*/).filter(Boolean);
Capturing group will enable saving the matches as part of the resulting array.

JavaScript:
const string = 'this simple the<b>html string</b> text test that<b>need</b>to<b>spl</b>it it too';
const regex= /\s*(?<!\S)([^\s<>]+(?:\s+[^\s<>]+)*)(?!\S)\s*/;
console.log(string.split(regex).filter(Boolean));Output:
[
"this simple",
"the<b>html string</b>",
"text test",
"that<b>need</b>to<b>spl</b>it",
