Terry, You're nowhere close to having too many individuals in the Family File. I've seen Family Files with hundreds of thousands of individuials, even one with over 1 million!
The only limitation is the actual file size which should be no bigger than about 1.5 GB to avoid problems. I would not be concerned about splitting at this time.
