A radius is not required for a splitter. To do it right, it would be an airfoil shape and continue far back. However, this is not economical as it would probably cost $1000+ to make. A sharp leading edge isn't always a bad thing

Sharp edges can create vortices. Vortices can be used to create downforce as shown below.



That vortex above created a lot of downforce across the splitter.
