I scavenged a small black locust tree. The lengths are all too long, and
much of it needs to be split.

I won't be needing any wood this year or next, so I am in no hurry. Am I
better off letting it dry out before splitting/cutting, or should I do it
now?

Black locust is fairly easy to split but it does spit easier the drier
it gets. It is best to cut to length while it is green. Locust is
notoriously hard on saws and even more so dry. Drying time is at least
a year.
