Seems to me that if you take the "minimizing splits" provision seriously, you get the Michigan standard.  That is, you can't have two districts splitting the same county/municipal boundary, and you can't have a loop of districts each splitting a boundary with the next. 

Should be easy enough for the commission to do.  The incumbent protection racket that they had going on will have to fall by the wayside, but I suspect this hurts the Dems in western PA more than the GOP in the Philly suburbs.
