You might get a wider variety of answers on WD, but since this is CSS-D here's
a CSS answer.
A URL would help (as always), but what if you leave the image as one big
thing, set as a background image on the body, with a position of center
center?
body {
background: url('some/url.jpg') #color no-repeat center center;
}
It won't load quickly, but specifying the color will make it less painful to
wait for. the color will show up until the image has finished loading, and
would work well if the background is predominantly one color.
center positioning the background (which may be the default, so you wouldn't
need to specify it) would let the page shrink, and just chop off the extra
background.
Just a thought, and depending on the background, may not work at all.
