You have fasta or fastq files, it's not clear with your fastaq.gz. In any way you can use this command line :
zcat your_file.fastq.gz | split -l 10000000 - prefix
You will get files like prefixaa, prefixab, prefixac... All files will have 10000000 lines
reformat.sh from BBMap suite (check sampling parameters).
for BBMAP I find this version of the docs very helpful
