So, in order to read from an usb pen, you have to do the smart update under nitoTV, and the pen have to be formatted fat32, that can carry files less than 4Gb.... So, for a normal hd movie, you have to split it up chunks less than 4Gb and then put them in the pen.

Is it correct?

How can you split mkvs under osx?

You can just format it as HFS Extended under OSX, it will then accept files bigger than 4Gb.
