If you think about the process of fission as the same process as binary fission (the way single celled organisms such as bacteria reproduce), then during the process, the "DNA" or coding of the core is copied and cloned to prepare for splitting. So during the fission of a dark slime, it is very possible that the core is "cloned" to create the daughter of the parent slime in much the same way daughter cells are created for binary fission cells.
It would be the most likely event in any case, regardless of the energy needed to invoke the copying process. This process could also be what creates the material of the core, whatever the substance is; energy being compressed until the material forms.
Who knows?
The newborn likely wouldn't have enough energy on her own to create her own core, even with the ambient energy of the demon realm available to her. It would also coincide with the fact that the core IS the slime, her personality, her thoughts, her mind, everything.
So, going by those facts (what little is availble lol) we can onclude that, instead of splitting the original core, the Dark Slime (possibly) compresses her energy and/or part of her own body to create a new core; in which her genetic structure, thought process, and being is copied.
