tar on N900 is the cut-down (crippled) version in busybox. You could create your archive as normal then use split to chop it into bits and transfer then on windows you could use the copy command with the /b (binary) option to join them back again then unarchive.

Eg to split into 1MB pieces:

Code:
split -b 1048576 bigfile.zip bigfile.zip.
Results in files:

Code:
bigfile.zip.aa
bigfile.zip.ab
bigfile.zip.ac
bigfile.zip.ad
...
Unfortunately split is also the crippled buysbox version so you can't have numerical suffix and are stuck with the alpha suffixes.
