gpgsplit is part of all GnuPG versions and all versions should work for
you.  Thus you may download a gpg 1.4 version, unpack and build it but
do not install it:

  tar xzf gnupg-1.4.22.tar.gz
  cd gnupg-1.4.22
  ./configure && make

Then you should find a

  tools/gpgsplit
  
which can be used for that task.  I have not read the HOWTO so I won't
comment on this.  However, I created a freature request to make this
easier:
