Does anyone know of any tools that can help split up xml sitemap to make it more efficient and better for seo?

Hello All,

We want to split up our Sitemap , currently it's almost 10K pages in one xml sitemap but we want to make it in smaller chunks splitting it by category or location or both. Ideally into 100 per sitemap is what I read is the best number to help improve indexation and seo ranking. Any thoughts on this ?

Does anyone know or any good tools out there which can assist us in doing this ?

Also  another question I have is that should we put all of our products (1250) in one site map or should this also be split up in to say products for category etc etc ?

thanks

Pete
