One of our party is currently in hospital undergoing observation.

We are due to fly out on Wednesday.

The earliest they may be released is tomorrow. I understand is this would potentially be less than 48 hrs before the flight, that if they are cleared to travel we would need to contact Emirates Special assistance rather than completing the online medical form.

The Q becomes if they are kept in beyond tomorrow and then subsequently cleared by the doctors, can the booking be split out to allow 1 member of the party to travel on the original flights and the others to travel a few days later?

We have held off contacting Emirates at the moment as there is a degree of uncertainty as to when they will be discharged.
