Split polygon into several smaller polygons in QGIS


I have a layer of polygons depicting response boundaries, I would like to break each of these polygons into a number of sub-polygons. As this is for an exploratory project, the polygons themselves can be relatively random.


I have tried using Random Points and Voronoi Polygons to create a new mesh of smaller areas, however I need the sub-polygons to fit exactly within their parent polygon for each individual polygon (no sub-polygon should cross 2 parent polygons).


I have looked at Sub-dividing a polygon into smaller polygons, which seems relevant but I couldn't see how it applies, and Splitting large number of polygons at same time into smaller polygons? seems to do pretty much what I want, except my second layer is a polygon layer and the borders of the polygons do not match.


I am using QGIS, but also have access to SAGA GIS if that works better.
