Get the plugin from

http://kmarkku.arkku.net/Path_crop_files...aster.html

You get a whole bundle of cropping and slicing plugins.

Then
1. Assume you have the ellipse path.
2. Make a horizontal guide that cuts it in the middle.
3. Call the plugin "Slice path by guides" and for "Cropping box" choose option "Use horizontal guides".

The plugin is invoked by right-clicking the ellipse path in the Paths dock and following links
Tools > Cropping and slicing > Slice path by guides.

Ohhh...
Using guides is much simpler and faster!

I also used Tools - Cropping and slicing in the example in post #4.

But I went on longer than necessary. 
Even having created the guide that divides the ellipse, I unnecessarily traced a path on this guide and then used it with:
Tools - Cropping and slicing - Slice path by lines

Tools - Cropping and slicing - Slice path by Guide is definitely much better here!

Even better than having great plugins is using them properly!

Ottia Tuota, thanks for demonstrating the correct plugin choice!
