How do I produce a TEXTSPLIT such as in the bottom case in the picture?

Hello, I have only cursory knowledge on Excel/Calc logic. I have a variable cell containing a string containing elements separated by hyphens, which I intend to spill across columns, but it stops working properly (Case 3) when there is only one element since there are no hyphens.

I tried going around it by adding double hyphens to trigger the TEXTSPLIT, but an empty cell is created.

How can I make so that the result returns #N/A errors on unused "slots?" Thank you!
