You _could_ use e.g. google to search for some file splitter running
under windows.  Actually you could also try this link:

but since you assume all men are evil/stupid you probably won't.

And, as many have told you ext2 is NOT your problem, if you upgraded
your system properly (specifically make sure your libc supports lfs).

Btw, Cygnus/CygWin make Windows really usefull :-)

Good luck,
