I think it's pretty clear that Eren dying of the curse as opposed to being eaten will split the powers. I've always wondered, however, if they could remove the power by exracting spinal fluid from Eren using a needle and then feed it to a normal titan.

It would be a total cheat work around, as AoT centers so firmly on the idea of power and authority and legacy passed on after death. but the only thing we know right now is that power is passed by consuming the spinal fluid of the shifter.
