anyone ever use sub-partitioning?

We have a table which is about 8GB with about 8 billion records. We add deltas 
to the file daily(inserts,updates,deletes).

We are considering paritioning this table so we can use parallel DML. We are 
considering partitioning on the primary key to about 10-20 partitions. 

Has anyone used hash sub-partitioning? What are your experiences with that? I'd 
like to have granularity smaller than 400-800 MB per partition.
