Interesting webapp, though doesn't address this:
It would be nicer still if the parts were named mylist_A-B.txt,
mylist_C-... with some hint in the file name as to which
entries, alphabetically, were contained therein. Since it's an
alphabetical listing, the first character on each line tells us
where we are.
I use this script to break a big file into several files containing
1.000 *LINES*. Maybe you can use it as a startup point. I use it as a

my $filename = "/$out_dir/data_$n.txt";
my @partial_data = splice @data, 0, $num_of_lines;
open FILE, ">", $filename or die ($!);
print FILE "$_\n" for @partial_data;
close FILE;
