What do you mean by "split into smaller jpg files" exactly?

With ImageMagick you could write a script that would do something like: 
automatically go through a directory of jpg files and create (say) four 
new jpg files per original that are the first one split horizontally and 
vertically ... is this the sort of thing you're looking for?

To do that I'd probably use "identify" to get the width and height in 
pixels of the image, and then use "convert -crop" to split the thing up.
