Do a top on that machine and find out - some runaway process maybe.

dmesg, vmstat, looking at /var/log/messages etc is a good idea.  Either that,
or consulting an astrologer.

For breaking large files to small chunks, there is  already an
utility called "split". see man for usage. It  breaks  a large
file into smaller userdefined chunks with the names xaa,  xab,
xac ... To rejoin them, do: '$cat x* > filename'
