I'm looking to split this polygon into 3 separate polygons and make 5 objects rather than 3 in the attribute table.

Normally, this would be a simple task however, I am hitting a wall on how to perform this split without actual boundaries.

 

Any help or suggestion would be great. Thanks!

Switch on the Advanced Editing toolbar and use the Explode tool on the multipart polygon.
