Maybe you can restore from a pipe. To get the data into the pipe use
gzip --decompress --stdout <gzipped file> > <pipename>
Otherwise you can split the uncompressed data:
gzip --decompress --stdout <gzipped file> | split --bytes=2047m
This will generate files xaa, xab ... with a size of 2047 MB.
To pipe these into whatever use:
cat xaa xab > <pipename>
