If it's big because there's lots of functions in it, just edit the  
source so you have lots of little source files instead of one big one.

Then use the librarian (avr-ar) to maintain a library with the object  
files compiled from the new smaller source files.

If your big object file is big because it's one huge function, the  
tool to use is called an "editor".

Refactor the one huge function so that it's several smaller ones, and  
apply the above strategy.
