This is probably a non solution, but I once had a wrapper for multi-file tables.
I.e. vw = CombinedView(viewname, file1, file2, file3) and had python do all the internals, it was ok for read only structures but when tables got altered, ouch! It was essentially a "block" that used several metakit databases. I also kept external index tags for quicker indexing. I.e. I had metadata for ordered columns to quickly see which file had the specified column. One really interesting thing about metakit is that you can do joins on databases that are stored in seperate files! This won't help you much, since you still have a total 2GB limit I think.
