If the Split Keyboard is visible, to return to the full on-screen keyboard, you can either use two fingers (one on each of the two half-keyboards) and swipe the two halves together - or touch-and-hold the “keyboard” key at bottom right, then slide your finger to the Merge & Dock option and release.
