Splitting disk to 2gb chunks

I am attempting to split a disk to 2gb chunks. I am running Vmware Workstation 11 on ubuntu. The original is a single file vmdk, drive size is 500gb, of which 120gb is used.

I am running the following command.

vmware-vdiskmanager -r ./win7x64.vmdk -t 1 ./new/win7x64.vmdk

I am trying to get 2gb split files so that I can move the vm around on a usb3 drive. The problem I am having is that it is making 8gb files. Any thoughts on how to get this to work.
