What about something like this:

-module(split).

-export([split/2]).

split(S,P) ->
    split_h (S,P,[]).

split_h([],_P,H) -> {lists:reverse(H), []};
split_h(S,P,H) ->
	case lists:prefix(P,S) of
	true -> {lists:reverse(H), lists:nthtail(length(P),S)};
	false -> [A|S2] = S, split_h(S2,P,[A|H])
   end.
