The original question didn't mention that the subdivided network had other
connectivity. It was a simple question on how to provide connectivity
between two networks sharing the same ASN through an intermediate ISP.
Hence the simple answer. ;-)

If there is other connectivity, the subdivided network points a static
route for the other /19 to their upstream (the transit ISP/ASN in question)
- yes, they still use BGP for everything, but the static route ensures that
they can reach the other portion of their network through the preferred
upstream.
The upstream/transit ISP in question doesn't have to do any magic at all.
As far as they are concerned they have two BGP customers, so they treat
them like any other BGP customer. The onus is on the subdivided network to
ensure that they have the necessary static to reach the other part of their
network.
BTW, RFC2270 describes the solution to this problem in good detail. I've
paraphrased that in my answer - the BGP tutorial slides I referenced has
the configuration examples.
hope this clarifies,
