spliting large qvd file

My computer has 4 Gb of RAM, it runs windows 7 64 Bits. My data source is a 6.67 Gb .qvd file. I would like to split this file into a smaller one in order to develop an application in qlik sense. In any attempt to access this file my computer crashes. I would like a hint on how to generate a slice of that file, without having to load it completely into memory to avoid overloading my computer.

Hello Maxwell,
You could load only the first X-amount of rows to load a portion of the QVD.
FIRST 10000 LOAD

I tried doing this with a few lines, but it did not work. I think even
to select fewer rows, because my computer has low memory, it when
opening the file and performing this query gets stuck. I was thinking
of a way to slice the file before qlik.
