The splitter is indeed a large plate that extends behind the airdam as well as forward. I haven't built one yet but it could be shaped in any way imaginable to enhance airflow out of the engine compartment.

Downforce is mainly determine by the amount of plate area ahead of the airdam.

BTW, the extra pictures still don't show your airdam extension worth a darn. You need to place the back of the car toward the light source and photogragh from low in the front with a flash, i.e. back-lit with flash fill. You want the ground underneath the car to reflect light and you want a flash to make the under-bumber area bright. This will show the black extension to good effect.
