If you split the movie file into two parts, you can copy each to the console's HDD, and have XBMC treat them as one file ("stacking"). Basically you give each part the same filename, but stick a 1, 2, etc on the end.
If you want to encode a video to take up exactly 4gb, you'll need to calculate the bitrate to use based on the duration (remember, video bitrate + audio bitrate = total bitrate).
Take your duration in seconds, divide by your total filesize (4gb is four times two to the power of thirty), multiply by eight (to convert bytes to bits). That's your total allowable bitrate.
