You need to handle these cases in your driver.

You can set rf.valid_duplexes = ["", "split"] so that only no offset
and split are offered.

Alternatively, you could handle + and - such that is does the math and
sets the appropriate transmit frequency in the radio. Many radios do
this. Here's an example in the UV5R driver:
