The long answer is - Don't use large static groups.  Use dynamic groups or find 
another way to denote and enumerate group
membership.

The short answer is - no, there is no way to page through a list of attribute values.  
VLV only works on entries.  I think there
have been internet drafts written to address this problem (www.ietf.org - search I-D - 
Internet Drafts).  But AFAIK no DS vendor
has implemented any of these.
