But, if one is interested in compression and not in making standard 
file, your idea of breaking up the file might have merit.  Break it up. 
  Try to compress and test decompress each part wrapping with try/catch. 
  If the decompress fails save that uncompressed.  The file might be a 
series of sub files each with a length prefix and a compressed-or-not 
flag.

Or, since recursion is the current watchword, the enhancement that 
breaks up a file like this recursively is left as an exercise.
