Sorry, you're wrong way about "the only letter with two disconnected parts". What aboutЙ, so called "shortenedИ"? And wait, there isЁ, as "Еwith 2 dots".

The letter ы is a ligature of ъ and і.
In the past, these were both vowels (something like /ɤ̞/ and /i/) and ы was considered as some mixture of those two vowels.
