Top voice with stems up, bottom voice with stems down as shown in
my example.

The same thing with rests, if only on rest, it applies both voices
if one rest and one note, seperate voices.
If only one whole note, both voices.

Two whole notes at same pitch just looks strange.
Have a look at:

No, part combining makes voices to be combined into chords.
I could use it for the above, but if one of the voices are split,
then you don't know wich voice is split after part combiner.
