I'm not sure I understood your question correctly.

In the DiskSpan GUI (executable, not the BAT file), you can specify the size of the disks. That is, you can compress the 8 GB (considering that the compressed output without splitting would result in one 8 GB BIN file) into 4 parts of 2 GB each, simply by specifying a size of 2 GB for the first disk and 2 GB for the other disks as well.

Then, if you want everything in the same folder, move all the BIN files from the DISK_2, DISK_3, and DISK_4 folders to the DISK_1 folder (move all the BIN files to the first folder and delete the DISK_2 to DISK_4 folders).
