Thanks, I'll proceed with caution and check headers for isolated ampersands.
As to splitting source, I usually split source at DSL level and process each part with Ruby script separately. Noticed that mobigen is able to convert at least 300MB html with option C2; this builds 40-50 MB mobi dictionary. However, I have to leave i7 W7 desktop crunching on background for 6-8 hours running a few parts concurrently. TBH, bigger dictionaries may hang Kindle, at least that sometimes happens with PW1.

Wow!!! Thank you for heads up about Mobipocket Creator and BOM!
302 MB html, no BOM used to crash MPC at the start, now it compiled uncompressed prc in five minutes! Cannot say the same about kindlegen, it still crashed in a minute after start.
MPC+BOM looks like a solutiion. Thanks again.
