0.187 liter: Mostly called by its name, a 'split'.
0.750 liter: The standard bottle. Legend says its size was determined by the size bottle conveniently blown by a glass-blower's lungful of air. It is sometimes called a fifth because it is about one fifth of a gallon.

A standard wine bottle is 750ml. A split is 375ml (or half, hence "split"). There is about 1 and a half glasses in a split.

On a wine list, what does "split$" mean?

It means you'll have a tiny bottle, enough for maybe 2 1/2 glasses.

A split (I ususally only these with champagne) is a small bottle, typically serving one person.
