Zip files can span multiple disks (so can a bunch of others but this is 
probably best supported under windows in ZIP form).  Just zip up that zip 
file a second time.

Personally I prefer to transfer things via sftp, but I guess that's not an 
option.  I've just had too many bad experiences from trusting floppy disks.
