Can't solve your problem, but if you have some Linn stuff you don't want
I might make you an offer. OT for this list I know.

The issue could be that Linn's player doesn't have enough memory to
read the sample tables from the file's MP4 container, so it refuses
to play the file. If >>so, splitting the file or transcoding to FLAC
are probably the best options.
Breaking up the download into acts would be a huge task and one I
cannot contemplate for more than a couple of favourites and with my
RPi working so well the Linn devices may be destined for ebay!
It seems a bit extreme to throw out the amplifier. At 320kbit/s can you
tell the difference between AAC and MP3 in a blind comparison? You can
convert to MP3 after a download fairly effortlessly using a preset as
described here under Option Presets and Shortcuts and then Custom commands.

It takes about 6% of real time. If MP3 is not acceptable, as suggested
you could convert to FLAC.
If the Linn player moves seamlessly from one file to the next you could
split it into fixed length files of half an hour or an hour.
What I haven't yet understood, both from the problem you have and the
problem I have, is why it is more difficult for a player to play a long
piece in AAC than in other formats. I thought this was something
segmentation and fragmentation was supposed to deal with, to facilitate
streaming.
