I use another solution...

Use ARJ on PC with the following paramneters:
(first copy the MUI archive on the PC HD)

arj a -va -m0 a:<filename> c:<path to mui file> ( i.e c:\amiga\mui33usr.lha)

then ARJ will copy the mui33usr.lha file on two disks ( 720 formatted )
with the names <filename>.arj  and  <filename>.a01  without compression.

Now copy the two files on the Amiga and use a program called UNARJ 
( available on Aminet/util/pack .. I think ) to unarj the two archives.
Warning: The two unarjed files have the same name! So rename the first
unarjed file to avoid overwrite!

Finally, with the two unarjed files ( i.e mui33usr1.lha and mui33usr2.lha )
join the two files with the 'join' amiga command. 
( i.e join mui33usr1.lha mui33usr2.lha to mui33usr.lha )
