No, baptism in the Catholic Church automatically means that you are bound to all the laws of the Rite in which you are baptized.

A Catholic has no problem with going to the sacraments in another Rite.

In how many parts did the Catholic church split?
The Catholic Church, by definition is the Body of Christ, and He prayed that all might be one. Therefore the Church has never "split". Different groups have fallen into heresy and left the Church, many of them have disappeared as Our Blessed Lord only guaranteed that He would pray and support the Catholic Church until the end of the world. Those surviving are the Orthodox groups which split away from the Church around the eleventh century, and the Protestants who walked away in the sixteenth century, I believe. Since that time, the Protestants have split, among themselves, into literally thousands of different churches. During the eleventh century when the Orthodox rupture happened, each group split in two so that today there is a Greek Orthodox church and a Greek Uniate Church. In the Catholic church there are different "rites" which are different ways of celebrating the Sacraments, etc. For instance, and Armenian, a Greek, etc. All rites are equal, we just usually see more of the Latin Rite as this is far and away the largest, and the Holy Father is also the Patriarch of the Latin Rite.
