tcpdump/windump will do this.
% sudo tcpdump -r{300M.file} -w{smaller.file.stem} -C10
The -C argument (per the tcpdump man page):
-C Before writing a raw packet to a savefile, check whether the
file is currently larger than file_size and, if so, close the
current savefile and open a new one. Savefiles after the first
savefile will have the name specified with the -w flag, with a
number after it, starting at 1 and continuing upward. The units
of file_size are millions of bytes (1,000,000 bytes, not
1,048,576 bytes).
So the command above took my 300M file and split it into ~10M files
with the names {smaller.file.stem}, {smaller.file.stem}1,
{smaller.file.stem}2, etc.
tcpdump threw me an error
"tcpdump: Couldn't change to root uid=0 gid=0: Operation not permitted"
when I tried to run it as a regular user, hence the sudo above.
