I believe you can split it with gzip, winzip or winrar.

Is the file on a linux or windows computer?

I came upon a similar situation recently and the guy was working with suggested winRAR for going back and forth between linux and windows and being able to handle just about any compressed file.

In fact, I think I'll go check it out now.

I think this is the one I have used in the past with good results...

If you are doing it on a web server. Try "Big Dump" for extracting large databases in smaller sizes.
