I think that's probably how I'd say it out loud, but I'd probably write
   The rest of it isn't difficult.

I'm thinking it's because "itsnot" kind of rolls off the tongue better 
than "itisnt". The consonants slide together easier without an extra 
vowel introducing another syllable. "tsn" is smoother than "snt" to 
pronounce.
