If you want to split one repository into multiple repositories, yes,
you can do it by dumping the original repository to a dumpfile with
svnadmin dump, then splitting out the one project using svndumpfilter
and loading that dumpfile into a new repository using svnadmin load,
then doing the same with the second project.
