I would run and hand saw down into the gap, cut a tapered cut along a scrap to create a 4-5mm wide feather-edged slither to fit into the gap and glue it into the opening and reclamp. i would weight a little t o make sure there is no more movement. It is most unlikely to move further. I suspect that the wood was insufficiently dry. Most likely over 20%. No matter how much glue, clamping or screws can stop this if the wood still has high MC.
