    you can allways fix it by making a index sitemap file which contains the parts of sitemap,google allows index.

    each part xml sitemap shd not contain more than 50,000 url and not more than 10 mb in size

    Many sitemap generation tools supports index files(they generate automatically)

    Regards

    Alex

    Your sitemap generator does not handle large sites. I use gSiteCrawler and have no problem with my 36,000 page site. We also have 1.2M page site that it does as well.
