The recommended way is not to care about the size of the journal file. Do it in a transaction and make sure you have some free disk space. You will, of course, eventually close the database file -- possibly immediately after a long importing session. This will collapse the WAL journal. Big journal files may make WAL mode unsuitable for small devices, of course, but on a desktop computer it shouldn't be a problem.
