Polynomial simplifications

Hello, I have what I assume is a basic question, but it deals with objects I usually don't work with on Sage and want to save some time. I have a polynomial p(x1,...,xn) with coefficients in Q[2]. The way how i am extracting it gives a bunch of coefficients of the field that are fractions with irrational denominators. On the other hand, the polynomial can be written as p(x1,,xn)=q(x1,,xn)+2r(x1,x2,,xn) with q and r polynomials with rational coefficients. I am not used to work with field extensions and changing fields, but was wondering how to write a function that takes p as an input and outputs q and r.

(PS. in my particular case I have several inputs of p and the number of variables is n=15). Thank you.
