the usual solution for this problem is to create a named pipe and to start a program which reads from the pipe and creates chunks of appropriate size. The export file parameter of exp is just the name of the pipe.

To import the data on the target system you can concatenate the chuncs by a simple "cat" command or you can create a program which writes the files to the pipe.
