Jean Lee,

I like dd:

dd if=infile of=outfile.00 bs=700M count=1 skip=0
dd if=infile of=outfile.01 bs=700M count=1 skip=1
dd if=infile of=outfile.02 bs=700M count=1 skip=2

until:
0+1 records in
0+1 records out

or until
0+0 records in
0+0 records out

in the case of a perfect fit (last file matches the bs).
