Of course it is possible.  Just split up the image into multiple=20
fragments, e.g. like so:

ntfsclone --save-image -o - /dev/sda1 | split -a -b 4000m -d - =
windows.img

That will create windows.img000, windows.img001, etc each of 4000MiB in=20
size...

Then to restore the fragments:

cat windows.img* | ntfsclone --restore-image -O /dev/sda1 -

Best regards,
