Can you use electrical tape to tape up a split in the wire insulation of a 50 amp cord?

Yes you can. Most electrical tape is rated for 600 volts for each wrap. Carefully check the conductors inside the cord at the split. If they are cut, you'll need to tape those cuts first. Then thoroughly tape the split on the outer sheathing of the cord. This is not a permanent repair and the cable should be replaced as soon as possible, particularly if it is to be used outdoors.
