As others have pointed out, your issue is not likely solved by using
split to create pieces of the original iso -- you need complete iso
images sized to fit your media, otherwise you have to copy the contents
of all the disks to your hard drive and reassemble the original image
before any of it becomes usable.
I was just reading somewhere about a package called datapacker, which
might do the trick. I've never tested it though. If you try it, please
let us know if it worked for you. And please confirm by using the disks
you burned first. Burning is really only part of the solution. :)
