Alternative to UISplitViewController?

I have to make an app for iPad which requires a UISplitViewController- like view but with extra navigation bars on the top. Unfortunately, the native UISplitViewController does not have support for this. As an example of what I want, consider the apple documentation site which looks like:

What I want

But what UISplitViewController offers is a part of it (Master-Detail controllers only):

What we're given

So my question is: What is the best way to do this? Should I subclass UISplitViewController(which, I'm a little less confident of) or should I use loadNibNamed: or is there some open-source project out there?

Edit I need to put images, buttons and a search-bar in the extra top bar.

I've recently developed a library and published on gitHub for IOS devices both iPhone and iPad. It's act like an UISplitViewController but there ara more customization option that you can use. https://github.com/ytur/USController

What you need it MGSplitViewController. It allows you to push the split view controller inside a navigation controller. You can also accomplish what you require by digging in the view hierarchy and planting your view there, but MGSplitViewController would be more elegant.
