Default VBA for idenitfying text and copying it to a new line

Can anyone help with the following?

I have a spreadsheet of approximately 15000 records where the information
has been captured incorrectly.
This needs to be Split into its own rows based on an "LO" reference number.

The field it looks at can have several types of input.
|reference number is 123456LO|
|REFERENCE NUMBER IS 123456LO AND 123457LO|
|REFERENCE NUMBER IS 123456LO23456LO AND 112233LO|

Code:
Sub test_v1() 
    Dim lRow    As Long 
    Dim i       As Long, x 
     
    lRow = Range("F" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row 
     
    For i = lRow To 2 Step -1 
        If InStr(1, Cells(i, 6).Value, "LO")  0 Then 
            x = Split(Cells(i, 6), "LO") 
            Rows(i + 1 & ":" & i + UBound(x) - 1).Insert 
            Range(Cells(i, 1), Cells(i + UBound(x) - 1, 5)).FillDown 
            Cells(i, 6) = Right(x(0), 6) & "LO" 
            For j = 1 To UBound(x) - 1 
                Cells(i + j, 6) = Trim(Right(x(j), 6)) & "LO" 
            Next 
        End If 
    Next 
End Sub
The above works fine until it encounters the following.

Line 1 | 123456LO 123457LO - 123458LO |
Line 2 | TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT 999999LO TEXT|

The output always go wrong with the above in cell F1 and F2

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks In Advance!
