Actually you post really made me think in a direction I didn’t expect.
You see, in countries with systems other than Proportional Vote - so, countries with electoral circles - the Left generaly has had less political power than their share of the vote because it gets divided (as the joke goes, “The biggest enemy of the Left is the Left”) and in systems with electoral circles that means fewer elected representatives per vote.
The exact same problem will apply to the Far-Right if they get divided. In fact, you can see it already in the last election in the UK, where the Far-Right Tories (who used to be just Conservative Right and moved to full-blown populist Far-Right during the Leave Referendum) have lost the elections because an even more Far-Right party called Reform UK appeared and divided their vote, which their First Past The Post electoral system (so, electoral circles with a single representative per electoral circle) transformed into a big loss for the Tories in terms of elected members of Parliament as it made them not come first anymore - and thus not get the member of parliament for that circle - in many such electoral circles in which they usually came first.
All this to say that a divided Far Right would probably be the best possible thing for Europe, at least in most countries (as only a few have electoral system using proportional vote), though paradoxically that would not impact the total representation of the Far Right in the EU Parliament because that one uses Proportional Vote.
