Same problem, but seeing this report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/276496
I added the missing p7zip package and now for .7z compression the splitting works. Right now I don't know if this feature is supported only by p7zip backend and for .7z compression. Please explain more details.
