No, I'm afraid with a VGA splitter if I'm tihnking right, you'll only be able to get the same signal since its splitting it from the same source.
The only way I know of getting dual screen is if you have a VGA connector, and a DVI connector, and simply getting a DVI to VGA connector that comes with some video cards and connecting it up that way.
If thats what you expected to do, I'm sorry

Ah, I found this, and it made me wonder if I'm right:

So, you have something like that?
Have you tried to configure a second monitor in the display settings?

Yeah, so do I.
I have DVI (a white type port), a circle one which is a S-Video port for connecting TV, and a standard VGA port.
It probably would have been better if you went and got a DVI to VGA convertor, which would have been very cheap, since one of the 3 connectors you have will be DVI.
I'm not sure if what you have will work though...

Yep! Just get an adapter that goes from a DVI port and makes it VGA. That'll enable you to use Extended desktop, yes.
You'll never want to go back once you have it either
Just make sure the adapter is attached firmly to the DVI port as sometimes if not, it can jiggle about once the VGA conection is connected, making it not very good for the pins.
