The bore size has nothing to do with splitting - clarinets have a much larger bore and the amount of condensation that collects in the same location is much greater than it is on oboe.

Air pressure isn't even a factor as air isn't under serious pressure in the bore as it escapes from the nearest open tonehole, so no woodwind instrument can ever explode. Breath resistance is only due to the narrowness of the oboe bore compared to a clarinet bore and that won't make an instrument more likely to crack. Flutes have very low breath resistance (to the point of none) and wooden flutes which have a bore diameter even larger than a clarinet (17mm expanding to 19mm in the headjoint compared to the 14.3-15.2mm of various clarinets compared to an expanding bore starting at around 3.9mm of an oboe) which also split if they're not played in correctly or subject to extreme conditions (as do wooden piccolos).
