No, you can't separate the numbers. "Nineteen" is one number and its gender always agrees with the gender of the noun.
Not sure what "the opposite gender" is, but if you have the ה at the end in mind, note that the masculine numbers usually have the ה , not the feminine. So, therefore תשעה עשר is masculine and תשע עשרה is feminine.

Well, numbers are a very special case. They are still confusing at times for me. But if you'd like you can check this post about Misleading gender of words in Hebrew and numbers are also discussed and all of the numbers are listed in full. Hope it helps you:

Thanks. I should have remembered that from Hebrew class so many decades ago. Or maybe Duolingo should have taught it. :-) Good thing we have your help!
