I believe your number of lines which you need in output split files are NOT even. So I am coming up here with an approach where one could mention the line numbers when they want to generate a new output file. Let's say your own example posted one, you need first 20 lines in file1, then next 10 lines to file2, next 10 lines to file3, next 10 lines to file4 and then next 40 lines to file5. If this is the case then could you please try following(I have NOT tested it, I am cooking right now, I am pretty sure it should WORK ).
NOTE: Point to be noted here is split("20,10,10,10,40",array,",") code's part is responsible for mentioning number of lines in output file so please be sure you are providing proper values here.
NOTE2: Also I am closing the output files with close(file) statement to avoid errors like
