what is the exact problem that you are having, or fear having

If you're importing a text file...

Maybe you could use your favorite text editor and split your data into
pieces--and then import each piece to a new worksheet.

Microsoft has a macro solution that does something similar:

XL: Importing Text Files Larger Than 16384 Rows
(written for xl95, but has a note to change stuff for xl97+)

If it's not ok to have separate worksheets, then maybe excel ain't the solution
to this problem.
