Bash – How to use zipsplit (or equivalent) on very large files

bashcompression

According to the man pages, zipsplit does not work on files larger than 2GB.

Is there an equivalent or alternative that would allow me to break up, say, 4GB of files into 500MB chunks in a way that a typical Windows user could access easily? ( I say "typical Windows user" to exclude solutions like gzip, tar, and split(1) … these aren't workable for the purpose at hand)

Thanks!
