Had her for almost 1.5 years and she split once before, but I don’t remember the baby looking that small. Is something wrong?

Sometimes growers will over fertilize to get them to grow and sell quick, usually the babies are smaller than the original in that case
It will get bigger. Kinda like ya kid when first born 🤣
pretty sure it’s because you’re having twins! They’re usually a bit smaller when that happens. I see the other head peaking out on the right
Some commercial grower use cultivation techniques that produce an exaggerated size for the actual split-age of the plant.
The new leaves will only grow as big as it’s genetically programmed to at this phase.
That said, the smaller leaves will not be able to absorb all the moisture from the larger parent leaves. At some point in time, the connection point (to the new leaves) on the parent leaves will dry up thereby severing the moisture transference point. The new leaves are then independent and on their own for moisture uptake via the roots rather than the parent leaves.
Parent leaves will pretty much only loose the “excess” moisture via dehydration…which can take a long time depending on the growing environment.
The second new leaf (and first new leaf) should behave as expected going forward.
