As far as I have learnt now, JES3 will only split groups of SYSOUT data sets so that the group total does not exceed the threshold. It does not split one single large data set into multiple chunks. The latter wouldn't make sense anyway, since the threshold is defined as a number of records not pages (i.e. skip-to-channel-one).
