Hello Jason - I read your paper with interest! Thanks for posting the link.
However I noticed that several graphs are missing from the posted paper.
Would you please look into this and maybe link to a fixed paper?

Thanks!!

Best Regards

Walter,

There are a few more details to take into consideration:
- what is the stackup beyond the split plane?  If you have a solid 
ground plane close behind the split plane, it helps.  On the other hand, 
if you have further (possibly split) power planes beyond the split-plane 
layer, it will make things worse.  You will find graphs illustrating the 
former in Jason's paper referenced below.
- what do you carry on the (split) planes?  Though this is not 
specifically a split-plane problem, even when we offset the stripline 
away from a plane layer, we need to consider the magnitude of noise 
expected on the plane.  If supply rails related to your signaling, it is 
safer as opposed to say a high-voltage (12V or 48V) input rail.  In the 
offset stripline stack a noisy 12V plane should be much further away 
from the trace layer
