well, two strategies:

1. split the article in several small articles as you need, then
   replace the original article with several page transclusion.
   With this approach, if you edit small articles the changes 
   reflects in the big one too...

2. keep the original big article and use an extension as DPL to
   include part of it in the small articles. With this approach,
   if you edit the original article, the changes reflect in all 
   the small articles.
