Aside from "resolution", also look at "level", on this site:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/help/style_rules

I'd also forgotten that my 60CSx Garmin gives some control over the
level of detail shown.  On my menu system it's under:

"Menu", "Setup", "Map", "General", "Detail".

You need to pass big OSM files through the splitter, and let mkgmap
combine the resultant parts into the single image file.
