Will cutting the Broach somewhere in the middle, and therefore doing 2 presses every time we make a part work?

Remove the arbor of your arbor press. Drill a hole into it with a lathe or some fancy jig so the hole is straight(does not need to be centered). Operate your broach as a 2 step process, start with it in the hole, push it the rest of the way through with the flat to the side of your hole.
Even if it doesn't fully fix it, it still increases the "Effective Travel"
