osm2mp merges roads with the same name, so if you change the name of each
piece then it will not merge them, I believe.

But mkgmap already has code to split long lines as there is a limit of
around 256 on the number of points in a line that the devices accept.
Reducing the number MAX_POINTS_IN_LINE in LineSplitterFilter.java will
reduce the line length.

It could be that there is a limit to the number of routing nodes in the
line not just the number of points.
