if ahnyone's interested in a half-completed file splitter that can split "in place" if you know what you are doing, let me know and i will try to send it. currently it's written in python and i am on a winblows box so i'm a bit stuck at the moment, that is myreason for writing it. if anyone's interested, email me, and i can try to polish it off and give it an interface instead of a python command prompt. current it is just a function that returns a list of chunks from a file handle that you must open manually. you also must save the list manulally.
