You could pre process the big file and split it into X files.
Maybe by using the java.util.Scanner to identify "good places" to
split the big file.

Or you could try using SAX based XML parsing when splitting to reduce
the memory overhead.
Just use a Bean for that. Something like this:

public Iterator splitBigFile(java.io.File file) {
  // SAX parsing the big file and return an iterator or something that
can walk the XML messages you like
}

And use the bean with the Camel Split EIP
