I am writing a logstash config file and a log I am receiving is giving me issues, the team sent me multiple logs merged into one eg.

message: [logitem(aaa=1, bbb=1, ccc=1), logitem(aaa=2, bbb=2, ccc=2), logitem(aaa=3, bbb=3, ccc=3)]

Would it be possible to split these log into 3 and insert them individually into elasticsearch? (3 records)

You can use a split filter to split an array into multiple events.
