Two choices -

1) Use Sax - write handlers to break the document into pieces.  This will
process the file as a stream and you won't run out of memory.

2) If the xml structure is not too complex, use text processing languages
(Python, Perl) to break it up.  This can be very easy depending on the
document design.
