Would the Roman empire have survived longer if it would never been divided?

No. The reason it was divided in the first place was that the Empire was too big to be controlled by one man for any length of generations. To a great degree, this is because the Empire was roughly the size of the United States and travel moved at the speed of a walking man or horse. For someone in Rome to get to the Rhine frontier where the Germanic tribes threatened could take one or two months. To get to the Syrian frontier with any kind of force where the Parthians or Persians threatened might take close to half a year.

Because that meant defensive forces had to be stationed on the frontiers, it also meant that ambitious and capable generals had control of forces far away from the central power and might be tempted to try to seize power for themselves. Which happened with distressing frequency. So, for instance, Diocletian’s Tetrarchy attempted to get around that problem by having four emperors (two Augusti and two Caesars) in four different capitals all closer to theatened frontiers, thereby giving each area the undivided attention of top leadership while also keeping closer watch on subordinates who might be tempted to rebel.
