I don't know about splitting on message/byte boundaries, but if the entire goal 
is archival, maybe another approach is best:

Mailman, the software you're using, has a facility to suck in mbox-format 
files, so maybe you could just suck the entire thing in?

Otherwise, a nifty program called mhonarc will take mbox files and turn them 
into threaded HTML page archives.  I have mail going back to 1991 that is all 
searchable and threaded -- very nice.
