I just use mp3splt
Find all the mp3 files that are too big for your uses, put them all in a
directory then run:
for i in `ls *.mp3` ; do mp3splt -f -t "30.00>15.00" -a -p min=2 -o @f_@n2
$i ; done
read the man file for the parameters. This works for me, ie specify an
approximate duration but try to find a silence to cut at and don't end up
with a silly last file of, say, only 2 mins and keep the file name (@f)
but add an underscore and left zero padded 2 digit counter.
Another useful command in rename. It's use and parameters may vary from
system to system but is very, very powerful, especially if you learn the
basics of Regular Expressions and ALWAYS, ALWAYS use the -t parameter to
test your command so you don't "rename" on file over the top of one (or
many!) others.
My problem with long duration files is that the built-in mp3 player in
the car only goes up to 99:59 minutes so a if I turn the ignition off
after the counter has wrapped around, it starts from, eg 10:00 instead of
109:00 :-(
If you are looking at manually finding and cutting at chapter boundarys,
Audacity might be a good choice.
Some useful links:

files-in-linux/
If something catches your eye as being useful, no doubt more Googling
will get you more details, manuals, user guides and step-by-step help.
