I doubt it.  You should export to a single file then use another tool to
perform the split.  What platform and you working on?  If its Linux using
"psql | some_splitting_command" should be doable.

I guess you put your query into a function and use procedural language
functionality to do that but I'm not sure on the necessary syntax.

There may be third-party ETL tools that fulfill this need as well.
