There are a few graphical GPX editors out there that will do what you want.
The one that looks the best to me for both Windows and Linux is called
viking (http://viking.sourceforge.net/) For Windows, there's also GPS
Trackmaker (needs a paid license to be truly useful), and one I dug up on
the GPSPassion forums called "Graphical GPX Editor" (works okay, but has
some strange behavior you have to adapt to for splitting ways).
