A small plugin-like application could be written on top of Transifex
that takes a PO file and cuts it into chunks of a reasonable size,
offering them for download as a zip file.

Then, the submission method can be tweaked so that it takes the
uploaded file and instead of overwriting the source file on the
server, to msgmerge it and submit the msgmerged file. This way
translators can take a chunk, translate it, and submit it for
inclusion in the server file.
