I have a old version of wikipedia (2014) of relatively small size. With the present firmwares I can chunk it in 15-20 kobodictionaries of 500 mb each one
I would think the zim reader on the kobo is open source?
Maybe someone could find the old code and fix it? Even when it worked, it had a lot of bugs, including not correctly handle sharded zims.

The limit on the kobo for zims was the vfat maximum file size, which I think is 2-4G or something. The full wikipedia text only zim was like 15G. Probably slightly bigger now. (I have it in a different format similar to zim on my phone now in about 4-5 pieces.)
