Yeah... that's one way to do it.  The other that comes to mind is using 
"split":

split --bytes=4000M rawhide.vmdk /media/disk/rawhide.vmdk-split.

"split" will create 4000 M chunks of the rawhide.vmdk file in 
/media/disk.  When you want to reassemble them, you can just cat them 
like so:

cat /media/disk/rawhide.vmdk-split.* > rawhide.vmdk
