How can I extract values from one column and create 2 separate columns?

This is going to depend on the how that column is being populated to begin with. Does your column always get populated with 3 digits - 6 digits - 4 digits etc? Or are you always looking for the number after the 2nd dash?
If it's based on digits you could use a SUBSTRING function:
https://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_mysql_substring.asp
If it's based on the # of -'s then you can could use a SUBSTRING_INDEX function:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/string-functions.html#function_substring-index
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14347581/mysql-second-or-third-index-of-in-string
With substring you tell it where to start (your index) and how long of a string you want. Substring_Index will return the left or right portion of the string based on the characters you give it and the instance number you're looking for. You can combine 2 Substring Index functions to give you the mid portion of a string.
Hope that helps. And if you need further assistance, let me know more about the parameters for what you're wanting to include.
