It's certainly possible.  It's currently in one single jar file because that
was quicker and easier.  So far there's been no need to split it.  I've
often thought about splitting it up, but never found the time or inclination
to do it.

What are you trying to do with it?  Is there any reason to split it other
than size?

One complication that would make it difficult to split is cross dependencies
between java packages.  There hasn't been a serious effort made to avoid
circular dependencies.  I suspect some refactoring would be required in
order to find logical points to make it work.
