55555 = 12321 + 43234 + 0

And if you don't like that:

55555 = 12321 + 23132 + 20102

Palindromes are sort of the least surprising numbers to have this property because you can easily "split" them into as many palindromes as you want like this. The surprising result is that you could write something like 19837100018374 as the sum of only 3 palindromes.
