This paper is concerned with the internal structure of Ext(Q, T) where Q is the group of rationals and T a reduced p-primary group of unbounded order. In [1] Irwin, Khabbaz, and Rayna define the splitting length of an arbitrary abelian group A, written l(A), to be the least positive integer n, otherwise infinity, such that A ⊗ . . . ⊗ A (n factors) splits. The concept of splitting length has been induced on Ext(Q, T), see [2; 5].
