You can try adjusting the filesperset parameter. The more files, the smaller they are.
Good luck.
the actural question is: can each backup piece be larger than 2GB? didn't find this limit in manual. anyone has real experience on that?
Sure, if your system supports, then you can go for it. But to be on the safer side, I would suggest that you keep within 2GB. If your oracle is 32bit, then 2GB is the safe heaven. If it was a 64bit then you can go for a higher limit. But why would you want to do it on to the disk?
