Did you succeed?
Does OpenOffice have the same file siize limit?
oops- does OOo handle docx yet?

Using the 'open as zip' trick, you could probably just rip a few megs
of pic files out of the doc, to bring it under 512 MB.
Then open it with Word, and split it into sections.

I was able to recover the text but i lost all the formatted pictures
