Should I split the data or resize each row myself?

No. Enter the complete GS1 data once and keep the generated rows, separators and margins together. The number of rows depends on the data; it is not always two. For example, (01)09521234543213(17)271231(10)LOT123 adds an expiry date and batch to the GTIN. Use actual product data, check retailer requirements and test the final printed size.

How do I check the code before printing?

Leave the white margins intact, keep the image in proportion and scan a sample at its final printed size with the device you intend to use.
