There are a few Std. Libelles that were modified with split flaps:

But this is not available anymore. Libelle with these flaps may not be
modified with winglets.

Weren't these the Libelles fitted with after-market wing extensions to
give then a 17m span?

The only 17m Libelle I've seen advertised certainly had the split flaps,
so I'd always assumed the split flaps were fitted because normal weak
Libelle airbrakes became totally inadequate with the extra wing span &
area.
