You can use PIP to primitive file splitting and concantenation.  When I 
ran into this difficulty with a textfile I TYPE'd the file to the console 
and waited until what I thought was half of it had scrolled by, then did 
control-S and picked out what I hoped was a unique sequence of bytes 
 
The I did PIP <newfile>=<oldfile>[Q<uniquestring>^Z]
      and
          PIP <newfile2>=<oldfile>[S<uniquestring>^Z]

This can be undone by
          PIP <bigfile>=<oldfile>,<oldfile2>
