RMAN backups dont suffer from split block or fractured block problem.
RMAN first reads the blocks into its input buffers and while writing
the data from inout buffers to output buffers, it checks for split
blocks. If it encounters a split block, RMAN will reread that oracle
block. RMAN also takes care of the start SCN in file headers. This is
the reason why you need to put the Tablespaces in backup mode for RMAN
backups.
