Fitness secret course

Is it ok to break down a 5k run in 2x2.5 or a 3k and a 2k?

21m 180cm and 72kg, throughout my life i used to play tennis competitively, and use to train track and overall fitness for this, so i used to do hiit, pyramid runs, and 1k runs, along with shorter distances (from 50 to 400m runs).

Lately iv developed a few allergies since moving abroad which sometimes make breathing through my nose hard, which doesnt bother me too much, but they are annoying some times.

I started running to help me achieve a caloric deficit in quarantine, and at first i ran 5k but i kept getting side stitches. My time wasnt that bad but in honesty i never ran such distances and it was very weird to me (first 2-3k smooth af, but then it gets bad).

Would it be equally good for my cardio and breathing (eg when playing soccer) to run 2x 2.5km runs, so that i can get a similar caloric burn? Is there a major difference in breaking down the runs?
