MIME defines a content type "partial" which can be used for this. I don't think mailx has support for dividing a large file attachment into multiple partial messages, but you can construct the MIME parts and feed them to sendmail yourself.

splitmail
splitmail(1) General Commands Manual splitmail(1)
NAME
splitmail - Split a large mail message into MIME-compliant partial messages
SYNOPSIS
splitmail [-d] [-v] [-s splitsize] [-p prefix] [-i id-suffix] [file-name]
DESCRIPTION
The splitmail program will take an email message and break it up into smaller pieces using the "message/partial" type defined by MIME, the
proposed Internet standard for multimedia mail formats.
By default it will take the message either from standard input or the named file, and will produce a set of partial message files with
names like "/tmp/split.1" for the first part, and so on. The prefix "/tmp/split." can be overridden using the "-p" option.
If the -d option is specified, the mail will actually be delivered. If -v is specified, the verbose flag will be passed to sendmail.
The -i option can be used to make splitmail generate the pieces with similar (but not identical) message-id fields, in a format which
allows them to be easily correlated with one another and which end with the suffix provided on the command line after -i.
The default chunk size for spliting messages is 250000 at most sites, though this is also a compile-time option. This can be overriden
with the -s switch, or with the environment variable SPLITSIZE.
Messages smaller than the chunk size will not be turned into partial messages, but will be written to a single file or delivered as a sin-
gle message.
ENVIRONMENT
SPLITSIZE overrides the default chunk size. Setting SPLITSIZE to, say, 4000000 will effectively ensure that your messages are unlikely
ever to be split, but it may cause them to be rejected by some mail transport software.
SEE ALSO
mailto(1), metamail(1)
BUGS
If the size of the input is just on the fencepost, and if it is coming from a file rather than standard input, splitmail will sometimes
estimate the number of parts wrong and will have to write out an extra part. This is harmless but annoying. It is especially annoying if
the estimate was 2 but the real number was 1.
