I guess here you have also several MB files , not just couple of lines, so you need to break up the dataset to smaller regions or thematic "layers". I have also done conversion to .osm files with appropriate tagging before sharing the files, and used JOSM to copy&merge objects individually.

Check out one of my latest projects - Snapshot Server. Takes osm files
(of any size) and serves them out as map calls, suitable for use as
background layers without the clients having to load the whole thing.
Also can be used to mark different features in the source as
"complete" or "reviewed" by contributors, so many people can
collaborate on using the external data source.
