Indeed I really think it is doable to split such DB into many DB.

- make a copy of the DB for each company
- add delete cascading on all company foreign key
- delete all but one company
- remove the delete cascading
- update the DB

now you have a single-copany DB.
Indeed, I think the migration of Tryton should check if there are no
more than 1 company.
