Split advance tickets with BOJ in London

[Halsebee]

I want to travel from Sheffield to Taunton via London. There are a number of cheap tickets (advance splits), but all involve travelling straigt through London as quickly as possible.
Is it possible to book such tickets with a few hours break in London? I've tried setting longer connection times in split ticket website journey planners but it doesn't seem to help.
So question is journey Sheffield to Taunton via London with a few hours break in London using cheap advances ( there seem to be very cheap Derby-Taunton via London tickets.)

Using the RailUK Tickets (a version of TrainSplit) I specified 120 minutes extra change time under the "More Options" button and it's happily selling me tickets with a few hours in London. For instance on 8 March leaving Sheffield at 1100, arriving into St Pancras at 1308 and then departing Paddington at 1804 arriving into Taunton 1947 with a cost £38.50.

Thanks, that works well

Although bear in mind that you are unlikely to have a strict entitlement to take a later train from Paddington if you arrive at St Pancras, say, an hour or two late.

It's possible to specify an even longer wait by entering extra change time under both the "Route Options" and the "Changes" bit of the advanced options, see below:
