You need to do it manually or roll your own.  Set up an 'archive' host in 
BackupPC and with that you can get a compressed tar dump of the system.  In the 
archive host config you can say how big each 'split' of the tar image should be.

I set mine to make 4200000000-byte chunks, which will fit easily on a DVD[+-]R 
with a filesystem etc, then I have a script I wrote which watches the archive 
directory and starts stuffing those files (and as many of the PAR2 files as 
will fit on each DVD) onto DVDs (or CDs if it finds the files left at the end 
will fit on a smaller disc).

Works for me, you probably want something vaguely along those lines.
