There's no choice; when you split the big repository into smaller repositories, each repository must be given its own UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier), different from the big repository's UUID. A working copy is matched to a particular repository by UUID. Once you have new repositories, you must check out new working copies.

Everyone's working copy is already broken by splitting the repository, so you may as well rearrange. svndumptool can help, or you can simply "svn mv" things into place.
