I believe there are options that you can use to split as you encode.  I forget 
what they are now.
With your avi already recorded, I would put it in a matroska container and 
then split it.  Find mkvtoolnix and use mkvmerge.  I found this to be really 
useful software for a lot of things, like adjusting audio sync problems, 
adding audio/subtitle tracks,  and also splitting and reassembling files.  
It's more specifically useful for those things than mencoder is, if you can 
do it with mencoder you will be reading a big man file to figure it out.
hope that's helpful.
