How can I add only some lines/a part of a hunk interactively with git add --patch, if hunk shown after selecting split is still too large?

Update
As SO user avivir correctly notes "split", might be a valid option.

git add -p is short for git add --patch and it is a git option that allows you to make more specific commits. How it works is that it will go through all new changes in your code and display hunks of them at a time for you to decide what you would like to stage or not stage.
To make the untracked files visible to the git diff command, we staged them (using git add ) and then used the following command to create the patch: git diff --patch --staged; git diff [--options] --cached [<commit>] [--] [<path>...]
If you want to add only a part of a hunk, you can select edit from the menu that gets displayed:
Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,/,e,?]?
This will start your editor where you can delete unwanted lines from the hunk that is about to be added to the index. The change is virtual, that is your file will not change.
