Split practice & product combinations making the dataset long

ERAComboSplit takes observations of combined ERA practices or products (e.g. Inorganic Fertilizer-Reduced Tillage) and splits them into a longer dataset. Each row in the dataset corresponds to a single instance of a practice or product in an observation (where that practice or product was initially combined with others or alone).
