To answer a couple questions. Yes the generator will need to be running to run the back and middle AC since these are powered by your 50 amp 120 volt system (similar to an AC in a house). Only the dash air will work with the engine running. Most owners run the generator while driving if it's hot enough to need AC, that's what it is designed for.
Not sure what type of splitter you're using but if it supplies 120vac on 2 different legs then you can probably run 1 or 2 AC's. It shouldn't hurt anything to try. Just watch the voltages at the panel above the driver's seat. If they drop below 110 volts then I wouldn't take a chance to run the AC's. Or just run 1 AC.
If you can find an experience Newell owner near you it would be very helpful to spend some time with them to learn the systems on your Newell.
