No!!!! the plant needs to grow bigger before it will develop bigger leaves and slits. the small ones are still important for the plant to grow bigger

will the cracks heal then ?

no. it won’t regrow but after a while u don’t notice them. they are beautiful leaves and a little imperfection doesn’t make it a bad leaf. after the plant gets other leaves u can cut them off if u want but i’d leave them

Plants are not ever going to be perfect. Learn to accept and celebrate the imperfection.

My daughter ripped holes in some of the none hole leaves. Mine is doing just fine.
