Yes, I can confirm at least two distinct pieces now! I also went to the Sky & Telescope page and checked all the comments attached to their article...

.. and sure enough, other astronomers had already reported at least two parts of the nucleus. Several astronomers (David Finch has the comment immediately before mine) reports two pieces of almost equal brightness, with a third fainter one in between the two brighter pieces. Obviously he is observing with a larger telescope at higher magnification than I am! At 45x, I can see the two pieces quite clearly, but I would need a higher power eyepiece to resolve the third piece.
