Default RE: split flaps on piper cub

so, i'm curious if different designs of flap configurations make a difference on how they work and affect flight caracteristics when deployed and maybe how far should i set them up for. i had a GP RV-4 in commission (still have it), and built the flaps as they were designed to be but were not split flaps. would they still affect flight the same even with still having the upper surface of the flap stay the same as the entire flap dropping like the fowler style? am i confusing anyone, cause i think i just managed to confuse myself? well, back to cleaning my shop so i can start building.
