Into, In, To

It seems that "into" could be replaced by "in" or "to":

A. "He put the pencil INTO the box."
B. "He put the pencil IN the box."

Because of equivalence of A and B, could C be replaced by D or E?

C. "He split the cake INTO several pieces."
D. "He split the cake TO several pieces."
E. "He split the cake IN several pieces."
