I *think* sox will do that 'on the fly' so to speak and thus doesn't
care how big the file is.  If not mencoder likely can do it too.  I'm
assuming here it's Audacity that died trying to convert it for you.

As another random thought - how about using mp3split to deal with it
in smaller chunks at a time?
