Ok. From reading over the example command given on the man page, I would try 
it like so:

Open Dolphin and browse to the folder with the .avi file in it. (I suggest 
creating a separate folder and moving the video file there if you have more 
than one video in the current folder - makes easier to manage all the files 
created.)

Now hit your f4 key to open a terminal at the bottom of your dolphin window - 
you may need to resize it to see it better. The terminal window should display 
the path of the folder   you are in.

Now in this example I will use the  name 'movie.avi'. Wherever you see this, 
substitute the filename of your video in its place

enter this command:
avisplit -s 700 -i movie.avi

This will break the video into chunks no bigger than 700mb. You can change the 
700 to whatever size you need.

The resulting files created will look like this: movie.avi-0000, 
movie.avi-0001, and so on. Do note that your original movie.avi will also 
still be present in this folder
