If that doesn't work, it seems like a good candidate for a Java program.  If the
big image is in a standard format, the Java libraries should support reading it
in.  Then presumably you'd be able to grab chunks of the image, sliced however you
like, to write to the disk...

Of course, the image must be able to fit into virtual memory for this approach to
work. :-)
