Combine Surface?

I am hoping to combine these 2 surfaces into 1. I did an offset surface at a depth of 0mm to get the initial surface of the entire outer profile of my part.
I then went to split it in half at the point with the arrow. Unfortunately, the surface that I'm splitting with also intersects the original surface in 2 other points creating 3 surface on that side instead of 1.
Any tips?

Here is a boolean featurescript that will combine surfaces:

I do only use the basic stuff in it. Like combining surface patches.
I don't know what the options do and perhaps we can get an overview of the power of this feature script. What can it really do?
I did read through the supplied link again and just realized I can trim up imported meshes. I've been wanting that for a long time and it's here. This is a must have feature script.
You can also use a mesh to trim a surface
i have made a list of the inputs into the feature and the results in the document

Can I use a surface to trim a mesh? surface 15 is a planar surface & detail is a mesh.
And then......
What does all this stuff do? I use automatic all of the time.
I've been reading through the feature library documentation and have some basic clues. Do you have any examples for these conditions.
Was reading through some parasolids stuff hoping the answer didn't lie there.
Currently Onshape does not support using a surface to trim a mesh, but it works the other way around.
Often if a part that you are trying to trim a mesh with has a face that touches one of the mesh's points, it won't work either.
Also, I have edited the UI a lot in version 3 to make it simpler. I have removed the Manual, Specify Matches and Automatic and I also have rebuilt the algorithm for computing matches.
