The p-adic splitting conjecture for definable sets

From papers

Let KK be a pp-adically closed field and let AA be an infinite definable subset of KnK^n that is open in its closure. Let (Bk)kq(B_k)_{k\leq q} be a finite collection of closed definable subsets of AA\overline{A}\setminus A. The p-adic splitting conjecture. There exists a collection (Ak)kq(A_k)_{k\leq q} of non-empty definable subsets of AA, each clopen in AA, such that

kq,Ak=AkBk.\forall k\leq q,\quad \overline{A_k}=A_k\cup B_k.

If true, this would imply that the lattice of definable sets with atoms over KK satisfies the ASC-splitting property for every definable set. The source presents the assertion as a conjecture or question, and gives no evidence of resolution.
