I'm not sure if this is what you're trying to do.
.v-line {
width: 5px;
background-color: teal;
}
.or {
background-color: #e9ecef;
}
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="jumbotron jumbotron-fluid controls">
<div class="container">
<form class="form-form-submit">
<div class="d-flex flex-row">
<div class="d-inline-block w-50">
<div class="col">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_name">Name *</label>
<input id="form_name" type="text" name="surname" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your name *"
required="required" data-error="name is required.">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_phone">Phone</label>
<input id="form_phone" type="tel" name="phone" class="form-control"
placeholder="Please enter your phone number">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="v-line d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center">
<span class="or">OR</span>
</div>
<div class="d-inline-block w-50">
<div class="col">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_email">Email *</label>
<input id="form_email" type="email" name="email" class="form-control"
placeholder="Please enter your email *" required="required" data-error="Valid email is required.">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col">
<div class="btn-group" style="padding-top: 25px;">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Submit">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>

You can shrink the fields by one col unit, so that both the left and right fields are col-md-5. This will give them a total column span of 10, leaving 2 spare (as Bootstrap columns always total 12).
From here, you can add offset-md-2 to the right-most columns to create a gap composed of 2 columns:

<div class="jumbotron jumbotron-fluid controls">
<div class="container">
<form class="form-form-submit">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-5">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_name">Name *</label>
<input id="form_name" type="text" name="surname" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your name *" required="required" data-error="name is required.">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5 offset-md-2">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_email">Email *</label>
<input id="form_email" type="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your email *" required="required" data-error="Valid email is required.">
</div>
</div>
<div class="w-100"></div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_phone">Phone</label>
<input id="form_phone" type="tel" name="phone" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your phone number">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5 offset-md-2">
<div class="btn-group" style="padding-top: 25px;">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Submit">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
Note that you cannot (easily) make the gap comprise of only 1 unit while keeping both columns the same length (as the total column count is even). However, you can make use of any combination of column + offset + column that totals twelve. For example, col-md-5 + offset-md-1 + col-md-6.

I know there is a better way to do this but right now this is I can remember. Basically, just create an empty col div in between the two columns:
<div class="jumbotron jumbotron-fluid controls">
<div class="container">
<form class="form-form-submit">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-5"`enter code here`>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_name">Name *</label>
<input id="form_name" type="text" name="surname" class="form-control" placeholder="Please enter your name *"
required="required" data-error="name is required.">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-1">
</div>
<div class="col-6">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_email">Email *</label>
<input id="form_email" type="email" name="email" class="form-control"
placeholder="Please enter your email *" required="required" data-error="Valid email is required.">
</div>
</div>
<div class="w-100"></div>
<div class="col-5">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="form_phone">Phone</label>
<input id="form_phone" type="tel" name="phone" class="form-control"
placeholder="Please enter your phone number">
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-1">
</div>
<div class="col-6">
<div class="btn-group" style="padding-top: 25px;">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Submit">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
