Matt,

This may be a stupid idea, so feel free to beat me about the head and shoulders 
at our next meeting...

Could you create subsets of the larger table in smaller tables by using a 
create table as select with a predicate? Then you could 
export the smaller tables as separate units. Of course, this also means 
reversing the process on the import.
