I tried the solutions from David and dahlbyk but had no luck. So here is what I came up with after reading the answer from mjv:

public static class IntExtensions
{
    public static IEnumerable Split(this int number, int parts)
    {
        var slots = Enumerable.Repeat(0, parts).ToList();
        var random = new Random();

        while (number > 0)
        {
            var slot = random.Next(0, parts);
            slots[slot]++;
            number--;
        }
        return slots;
    }
}
