Could be. When food is scarce. There no longer is much of an advantage in numbers so a split up makes sense. 

I wonder how important the skills in hunting Buffelos or other slow big game is for nomadic male lions? Seeing they are slower and less agile than the lionesses other game may be to difficult to bring down reliably. So I can imagine them being their primary foodsource. 
Could a lack of skill in bringing them down mean the difference between success and failure? Reply
