can you cut an existing map in half?

I've got a map that's quite detailed but has too many nodes (thanks to @Loopysue for telling me about that command) I have removed some of the fills after using SIMPLIFY and I don't know what to do next as I still have too many nodes.
If it were a Word doc (for example) I'd just cut it into two smaller files, but I'm guessing it that isn't nearly as simple as that with .fcw files.
The problem I have is I inhabit a body with Cerebral Palsy which affects my arms and hands and I physically can't just click one time before moving on to another location and repeating the process again.
If anybody has any suggestions I'm all ears.

Are you sure you're not a bit premature here? How many nodes do your entities contain? While it is true that too many nodes can be bad, especially for performance, you can still have a significant number of them without worry. Generally, if your most complicated shapes are a few thousands nodes or less, you have nothing to worry about (and it still isn't necessarily a problem if you go over that)
I am mainly asking because, yes, cutting up a fcw is a bit involved with multiple steps, so going through that process needlessly is something you want to avoid.
Basically, the process is very similar to making a local map from a regional map, since you still need to cut up entities even if you're not making a more detailed version
I agree. It is a pain.
