I found these cotton blend tabi for sale online. Granted, the sock is not split down the middle but rather, has a small 'compartment' for the big toe, like "toesies"-type socks but they are inexpensive and the shipping is also extremely reasonable.
So over all, totally not period but if you are looking for a cheap, easy to wash tabi that fit like a regular sock, these might be a good bet. I haven't field tested them but I have a good feeling. As for sizing, I bought the medium and it was perfectly snug on my foot (a women's 6.5). I would suggest that people with a bigger foot go up to the large size.
