Yep, in halves or 70/30, but that should only be done to a joist that's

beside the flange's pipe or where your seam is perpendicular to the joists.
You're right though, best is to cut-out the flange from the pipe and
keep the
plywood seamless and to install a new flange on top of the new plywood...as
the flange must be screwed into the plywood and fully anchored.
You'll need this to achieve that preferred operation - Internal Diameter
PVC
Pipe Cutter

you may also want to go with a wax-free seal to avoid future problems -

Plus 1 for going the distance and cutting the PVC and reinstalling the
toilet flange as Iggy suggests. Also, if you want to cover the floor
with a water-resistant material, don't worry about not finding PT ply in
ΒΌ". Go with cementacious board used for bathroom walls and floor with
tile. Should work fine with your vinyl sheet goods if you're careful
about leveling out indentations where you've screwed it down.
