As it says in the Rule book and Case book, it is the plane created by the waist of the snapper. So even the split end has to have some part of this body penetrating this plane of the center's waist.
2-30-2: A back is any A player who has no part of his body breaking the plane of an imaginary line drawn parallel to the line of scrimmage through the waist of the nearest teammate who is legally on the line, except for the player under the snapper, who is also considered a back.
