It is a very bad idea to split a password in parts, because the single parts are way easier to guess
than the whole password.
To generate a key from a password please use key derivation functions like PKCS #5. These standards
exist for a reason, do not try to create your own algorithm as long as you are not a cryptography
specialist!
