Incidentally, "Red Hat Magazine" today published *exactly* this advice at

Yeah... that's one way to do it. The other that comes to mind is using
"split":
split --bytes=4000M rawhide.vmdk /media/disk/rawhide.vmdk-split.
"split" will create 4000 M chunks of the rawhide.vmdk file in
/media/disk. When you want to reassemble them, you can just cat them
like so:
cat /media/disk/rawhide.vmdk-split.* > rawhide.vmdk
