I believe to uudecode one file into multi-parts, you have to use the -x 
(where x is the no. of lines that you want in the uue file).  To UUE, say 
for instance, a 100K file called DUMMY.LZH, on the command line, type:  
-700 DUMMY.LZH.  This will create a series of uuencoded files that are 700 
lines long (except for the last file, which will be the remainder, but not 
necessarily 700 lines long).
