I think I know what Andre is referring to (Andre please correct me if I am wrong) and if I am correct than you are still safe to use the currently existing big patch (as long as you do NOT tamper with it in any way - I mean that, a one line change is sufficient to destroy your data). If you split it up, there is a _very_ high chance broken code will be executed which will destroy your data on first time a PIO transfer occurs...
