My best guess is that you don't want to do that.

Association rules hugely rely on support for building the itemset. And
then confidence for the orientation of the rule.

Both are very simple metrics. Yet if you divide your dataset, this
will lead to very different itemsets due to the algorithm.

Can you precise « compare »?

Aren't these itemsets rather than rules?

I don't see rules, nor sense.

Can you clarify?

Thanks!
