We use a blockbuster splitting axe for euc. Weighty and wide.
6" should split ok.
Larger rounds, smack them right near the edge of the round, get some splits starting. Once you get one piece to split off, work around the round, splitting bits off the outside until it's small enough to finish...
It might not survive long term.
I've seen mullered trees like that sprout prolifically then all the sprouts just die. They can't produce enough energy to sustain what's left of the mass and...poof, dead gum tree.
Those cracks in the bark are ok, it splits as they increase in girth.
Some of those big ones in your pictures would be on their way to becoming habitat trees here, hollows for parrots and possums and microbats. 80-100 years to naturally have dead stuff and hollows.
