As with the shp-to-osm "glomming" plugin, the entire shapefile will be read
into memory, the plugin will be run on it, and then the split-up OSM files
will be written out. Thus, you should not have to worry about primitives
crossing file boundaries.

What program are you using for the upload? Is it bulk-upload, JOSM, or

I use JOSM -- I check "upload as one changeset" and check "close changeset
after upload". I usually try to do this when the load on the database and
ruby workers are low.
