Hi,
There is such a tool in hamm (in package pkg-order). It may
not be ready for prime time, but as no binary in the package modifies
anything on the file system, it should not bedangerous to install.

When i needed to do this, getting dpkg-split onto the system required
solving the floppy-split first . . .
Anyway, i downloaded the package (perl if i recall), used "split" to
break it into 1.4m pieces, moved these floppy by floppy, then used "cat"
to put them back together.

I have tried this but there are dependencies. I keep getting the
required packages down only to find out that
You can move that "man" package over on a floppy and install it.
dpkg -i should do, unless it depends on another package,
in which case it will tell you about that.
The base system is the smallest one that permits you to install packages.
If you had a CD, it might be different - I think we might
