Is there a way to slit the backer paper on Graphtec 8600 plotter

We have a large order of polystyrene signs. My production guy wants to perf cut each of these and then apply them to the polystyrene substrate. His plan for application to is to put a seam down the middle and then apply one side of the graphic at a time, and we're wondering if there's a way to load the print in a second time, and have the machine cut the slit in the backer paper instead of doing it by hand. My question is if there's a way to program a cut into the machine on a stroke instead of a closed path to make the split. And on top of that, has anyone tried/had success with running the same sheet twice in the machine and cutting on both sides of the vinyl??
