Quoting. With '(...), everything inside the form evaluates to itself,
which is not what you want.
You want to use backtick quote `(...) and insert the value of
my-split-list using the comma ,my-split-list :
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods
`(nnimap "otp"
(nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com")
(nnimap-inbox "INBOX")
(nnimap-expunge immediately)
(nnimap-split-methods ,my-split-list)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
