See -l option of the split command : Man Page for split (Linux Section 1) - The UNIX and Linux Forums
Then, after split is done, do something like (code not tested):
Code:
#!/bin/sh

i=0
#split default names split files as xaa, xab, xac, ..., hence the x* in the command below
for f in x*; do
 i=$((i+1))
 cat head.txt "$f" tail.txt > "q$i.xml"
done

exit 0

Code:
split -l 100 INPUTFILE
c=0
for f in x??; do
  ((c++))
  cat head.txt $f tail.txt > q$c.xml
  rm $f
done

Hmm... The same solution.
