This isn't true.
Partitioning a charge can't change the physics. If i have a bar of charge Q generating a force F on q which is proportional to sqrt Q then by partition i have n bars of charge Q_i = Q/n producing forces F_i
sqrt Q ~ F <> sum F_i = sum sqrt(Q_i) = sum sqrt(Q/n) = n * sqrt (Q/n) = sqrt (Qn)
Partitioning charge would lead to infinite forces.
