Fix gather and scatter bug in IPU hardware

IPU model is not fully replicating IPU hardware in the case of
gather and scatter vertices, where the `splitSingleRegion` seems to
be ignored on the IPU model. Setting back `splitSingleRegion=False`
solves the issue.

One still needs to investigate which configuration of these vertices is
the most optimal.
