The easiest way is to NOT convert it to a string in the first place.

map.getCenterLatLng() returns a GPoint, but when you perform the string
concatenation operation, it causes the GPoint.toString() method to be
performed.

So perform the splitting first
var centreLat = map.getCenterLatLng().y;
var centreLng = map.getCenterLatLng().x;

If you actually need them to be strings you can then convert them by
string concatenation
var centreLatString = "" + centreLat;

or by explicitly invoking the .toString() method
var centreLngString = centreLng.toString();
