We shall start calling you T-Rex if you're not careful! I don't know about the quad/hamstring split, to be honest, but as it feels like a front squat, 60/40 doesn't seem unreasonable. With the rest of my leg workouts being deadlifts, glute-ham raises, RDL's, hip thrusts and gute bridges, it's probably a good thing I have some quad work in there somewhere! You and your tiny arms!

That said, I am a huge fan a zercher squats with sandbags (as it doesn't hurt my poor arms!)
