A full record will have signature,basic and trailer.

first x records to first file
next y records to second file
final z records to third file

So, how do you want to stack the records?

first rec to first file
second rec to second file
third rec to third file
fourth rec to first file
fifth rec to second file
and so on

or

first x records to first file
next y records to second file
final z records to third file

or

you just want records split across files but not in any specific order?

BTW where is your sample input xml?

Again, you said you wanted the signature and trailer as well along with basic right? So, this signature and trailer occur for every basic record or is it one per file?
