Hi gnw- First off, I don't see how you can do this with just one cap But I also can't tell what coils you are splitting here. I don't know what type of DM humbuckers you have, so which coils are the inner ones is unclear. Your diagram shows the white/black wires of the bridge pickup used as the series junction, while the neck uses the green/red pair. This is typically done so that differing coils can be selected for hum-cancelling. But then, the neck series junction gets grounded through Pole A, while the bridge series junction goes (I assume) to the output, via the white wire to the circuit board connected to both Poles C and D. But anyway, the wiring would suggest that the same coils are being selected as the ones to be split, i.e., both screw coils or both slugs, depending on the orientation of the coils. The left side of the push/push is for pickup volume comp, so disregard this. The right side is what I have available to split the bridge. Everything on the circuit board, is not relevant. The left side of the Push/push connects the neck "series junction" to lug #1 of Pole B, which in turn is connected to the red wire going to the circuit board. I don't know what the board is doing, but since the neck pickup isn't supposed to be connected at all in Position 1 of the 5-way switch, the wiring to the left side of the push/push is mysterious.

the neck series is split to ground which means the screw coil (north) is active. The bridge selects the series connection, which selects only the screw coil (south), since the circuit for the slug coil (north) isn't completed (the red wire goes nowhere). OK, so the outside coils is one N and one S, all good. As I said, couldn't tell what coils were being split without knowing the orientation. As to the other, my misreading of your diagram, thought I saw a connection that wasn't there. Caps are cheap, just go ahead and connect the one for the bridge as you plan to do. You could even get extra fancy and use different cap values for each pickup.
