According to the PIL doc, you can't with PIL.For do this, you can use a
lot of "platform specific" programs, like that on tiff tools, that are
on all (more or less) the linux platforms or compiled by the gnuwin32
team by the win OS (tiffcp and tiffsplit are your friend).
Or you can use FreeImagePy (freeimagepy.sf.net), that are a python lib
that can help you do to it.

you can do something like (with the last freeimagepy release 22):

import FreeImagePy as FIPY

fname = "test.tif"
img = FIPY.Image(fname)

def createImg(num):
  img = FIPY.Image()
  #The size here it not needed, because every bitmap page set its size
  img.new( multiBitmap="file%i.tiff" % num )
  return img

for num, bmp in enumerate( img ):
   if num % 2 == 0:
     #Create a new image
     myImg = createImg(num)

   #Append a new one
   myImg.appendPage( bitmap=bmp )

   if num % 2 == 0:
     #Delete the first page, according with the freeimage doc
     myImg.deletePage(0)
