If all you have is text and <br/>, no wonder it won't split. Probably the first thing to do is search for <br/> and replace-all with </p><p>. That will at least turn all chunks of text between the breaks into paragraphs. You'll probably have to add a <p> at the very start manually, and possibly a </p> at the very end. Then use the "fix html" and "beautify" tools to make it more readable, and catch any possibly remaining bare text.

Once you have that, you will find you can break it with one of the methods mentioned...the files can only be split on <p>s or <div>s or <hn>s, I think. And from there, you can style it any way you like.
