I haven't tested your recipe as well, but my solution will also work
on this string:

 my_VAR = 'xxxxxx6xxx6xxx6xxxx'

 av_INSTALLDIR = '/etc/procmailrcs/SoftlabsAV'
 av_SPLIT_STRING = $my_VAR
 av_N = '17'
 av_SPLIT_LEFT
 INCLUDERC = "$av_INSTALLDIR/inc/av_split.inc"

 my_result = $av_SPLIT_LEFT
 LOG = "'$my_VAR' -> '$my_result' + '$av_SPLIT_RIGHT'
"

This will write

'xxxxxx6xxx6xxx6xxxx' -> 'xxxxxx6xxx6xxx6xx' + 'xx'

into the log file.
