"Kitchen"?
Well they shouldn't be and depending on the number of lighting circuits you have they should also be split across the board. Ideally F/F lights, Gd/F Sockets on same RCD and Gd/F lights, F/F sockets on the other RCD.
Then after that a logical thought process to divide the remaining loads up.
Which idiot did this rewire/CU install?
Would be difficult to say, without knowing if the cables need to jointed in the board of whether there is enough slack on them to move about.
You would also want to get the mixed breakers out and replace for the correct manufacturers brand.
I would be concerned over who fitted this board, did you get installation certificates and a building controls compliance notice?
If that was true, it would be affected by it!

Hmm.
You say that - do you know for sure I won't be able to find a photo of a split board with the RCDs at each end?

Isn't there one in this thread?
Possibly
I don't recall BG doing boards with RCCBs at either end, anyway looks to me that there is a second RCCB pictured and evidence in posting would suggest that is where the lights circuits are.
I believe this is what we would be looking at

Quite - at least, the OP's CU surely does have two RCDs - the device partially visible at the extreme left of the photo is surely a second RCD?
Kind Regards, John
yes you can see the part number on it, its the same as the rcd on the other end.
On the other end of the Ops picture yes. On the other end of the CU, I would say not, as this RCCB is nearer the middle of the CU.
Agreed. The important thing. surely, is confirmation that the OP's CU does, indeed, have two RCDs?
Kind Regards, John

There don't appear to be any of the stickers and labels I would expect to find on the board.
