As long as you're sure there's always only one space in the string, you could use a simple split to turn the values into a list:

when ACCESS_POLICY_AGENT_EVENT { 
    if {[ACCESS::policy agent_id] eq "aid_irule_EXTRACT-FIRST-LAST-NAME" } { 
        set name [split [ACCESS::session data get session.ad.last.attr.displayname] " "]
        ACCESS::session data set session.ad.last.attr.firstname [lindex ${name} 0]
        ACCESS::session data set session.ad.last.attr.lastname [lindex ${name} 1] 
    } 
}
