We have a bigger iso file to compress to tar.gz and split it into 120 MB per parts:

$ tar -czvf file.tar.gz file.iso
$ split -b 120m file.tar.gz file.tar.gz.part-
$ ls
file.tar.gz.part-aa
file.tar.gz.part-ab
file.tar.gz.part-ac

To join this file, we can use cat command, then uncompress

$ cat file.tar.gz.part-* > file.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf file.tar.gz
