Your log file isn't really larger than 2 Gig at all, so there is no need 
to split it.

I suspect that you are using the Macintosh (console window) version of 
Summary on OS X and trying to read a log file that is open by the web 
server. There is a known bug in OS X that prevents Carbon applications 
from consistently determining where the end of file is on files that are 
open for writing by other applications, so Summary just keeps on reading 
the log way past the end. The work around is to either switch to the OSX 
Command Line version of Summary, or to only process logs which have been 
rotated (are no longer in use by the web server).
