It is not possible to determine whether "long" tuplets should be
splitted or not; how then would you determine whether

\tuplet 3:2 {c4 c8 c c4}

should be printed as

|----- 3 ----|
      __
 |   |  |   |
 |   |  |   |
X   X  X   X

or as

|- 3 -| |- 3 -|

 |   |\  |\  |
 |   |   |   |
X   X   X   X

?

In your example,

\set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)

can already save from typing \tuplet (\times today) a lot of times.
