I have thick wires that can not be twisted into one hole of the wire connector, so can I split the wire into two section and feed them into the connector?

You can instead replace the IKEA connector with another one that will accept the thick stranded wire on one end and the wire inside the box.

Based on the thickness of the other wires, you can indeed split yours so they fit in the connector. You will still have two strands each to carry the load.
You can also use wire nut with one thick wire and two thiner wires to make it look better.
This type of connector prefers solid not stranded.
