Seems pretty similar to the Jacksonville split in Florida, right? And that one's been found to be fine. Under Milligan, seats are only protected if it is possible to draw a compact performing seat where an outright majority of the population belongs to the minority group in question (which is not possible in northern Florida; even if you send tentacles to Tallahassee or Orlando it won't be majority-black). If it is possible to do so in Huntsville then it may indeed be a VRA violation.
