Something like the following should work:

# split --bytes=`expr <filesize> / 2` <prefix> <tarfile>

You should then end up with two (possibly three) files. <prefix> is the
prefix you want to give the two files that are created, instead of "xa".

Before you can use the tar file again, you'll need to concatenate the two
files together in order alphabetically.
