For a start,
Why do a broken 200 as opposed to a regular 200? What is the particular advantage of breaking up the distance (or any distance for that matter)?
Is it better to break it up at the 50 or the 100?
What is the ideal rest time between 50's and 100's within a broken 200?
What is the ideal rest time between broken 200's within a set?
What is the ideal number of 200's to do in a set?
Are the accumulated times of a broken 200 an accurate indicator of how fast you can actually go?
If breaking it up at the 50, how much time should be added on for each flip turn?
How many broken 200's should I be able to do at a specific time to be confident that I could repeat that time in a race?

I am a big fan of broken 200's. That being said, I do it to add variability to my workout. I used to, to prep for a 200 free in a meet, swim 10 x 200 on 5:00. I would throw in some broken 200s to add variety.
