This is not a simple process and takes a lot of planning.

As far as I know there is a re-seg happening pretty much all the time...
VM have been aware that BASF3 is oversubscribed to the point of being unusable for over a year. This level of oversubscription and refusal to split a node is not uncommon. I have been personally told by the CEOs office that they are refusing to split BASF3. So yes, they can easily spot oversubscribed nodes, but no, they do not always resegment them.
