Have you tried one of the free or shareware text editors adapted for
html editing? Some handle really large files and display tagging and
links in different colors to make it easy to see what you're doing. You
might pull the large files into one of these in order to break them up
for easier editing in Dreamweaver. The two below are just a couple that
are well-regarded for html editing:

NoteTab Pro/NoteTab Lite (replacement for Notepad; shareware/freeware)

EditPad (another replacement for Notepad; "postcardware")
