You can use the following script to achieve your requirement.

Code:
cd JPG
files=`ls *.jpg` #getting only the picture files
j=0
k=0
for i in $files #reading file names one by one from the list
do
if [[ $j -eq 0 || $j%200 -eq 0 ]] #creating the directory if the file is first one as well as numbe of files is 200 multiples such as 200,400,600,etc.,
then
mkdir JPG$k #creating the directory JPG0,JPG1,JPG2,etc.,
dir="Dir$k"
cp $i $dir #copying the files to directory
let k+=1
let j+=1
else
cp $i $dir #copying the files to directory
let j+=1 #incrementing the counter to know the number of files
fi
done

NAME
gather - gather up the files in a directory for transmission SYNOPSIS
gather [-s] source_dir [-d] dest_dir [-b] bytes [-f] file OPTIONS
-b Desired number of bytes per output file -d Destination directory -f Base name of output files -s Source directory EXAMPLES
gather # Collect files in current dir into 60K archives gather -d dir # Put the archives in dir gather -b 90000 # Try to produce 90K archives gather -s .. -d targ -b 5000 # Try to produce 5K archives DESCRIPTION
It is often useful to collect all the files in a directory into one or more archives for transmission by mail. This program collects all the files in the source directory (default: current directory) and puts them into a shar archive. The shar archive is then compressed and uuencoded. An attempt is made to have the final .uue file be about the given size (default: 60K), but since gather cannot really predict how much shar will add to the file, how much compress will reduce the file, and how much uue will add again, the sizes can fluctuate. If the -f file flag is given, the archives will be given the names file_00.uue, file_01.uue etc. If -f is not given, the name of the source directory is used as the base name. Since 7 characters of suffix are appended, the base name should not exceed 7 characters. GATHER(1)
