You can use awk, with something like:
find ... | awk -v splitlen=629145600 -f script.awk
where script.awk has stuff like this:
% cat script.awk
BEGIN {
rlen = 0;
}
{
if ((rlen + $1) > splitlen) {
print "---";
rlen = 0;
} else {
rlen += $1;
}
print $0;
}
This will insert "---" separators at the right places in the output of
find. Then you can split at those separators :)
PS: I haven't checked the awk script above, so it might have typos or
errors. Use at your own risk.
