If your image file isn't compressed already, I'd suggest just gzip it. 
Actually I'd have done that at the dd stage:
    dd <your options> | gzip > myimage.gz

Anyway, once the file is created, just use "split" to break it up:
    split -b 2G myimage.img

You probably already have split.

I personally wouldn't now compress it if it's isn't already - it'll take 
ages and it's probably not worth it.
