When I discard several red cards for one cost, can I split the damage between humans?

Yes, splitting is optional, not required. Each discarded red card is its own damage source, so you may spread the wounds across humans or put everything on one human and ignore the overkill. The designer says to decide each time and to avoid a split that would kill someone; a strict reading could kill two humans, and he is open to a house rule.
