I know what you are trying to do, and it is possible with the part # 118158.
To add a separate turn signal on your trailer you would use the # 118158 to just tap into the trailer turn signal/brake light circuits but you would not interrupt the circuit that runs back to the taillight assemblies. This way the output side of the converter box will have the separate taillight signal for you to run to the additional turn signal and the rear taillights will still be combined.
I attached a diagram that hopefully helps you see what I mean by how to wire the box to your trailer.
