yeah so the 1st way i suggested would do this. basically the encode method of PAcketImpl would be something like:

  | public void encode(MessagingBuffer buffer)
  |    {      
  |       //The standard header fields
  |       buffer.putInt(0); //The length gets filled in at the end
  |       buffer.putByte(type); 
  |       buffer.putLong(responseTargetID);
  |       buffer.putLong(targetID);
  |       buffer.putLong(executorID);
  |       buffer.putInt(correlationId);
  |       buffer.putBoolean(isLastMessage);
  |       //if we are a small message
  |       if(!isMultiPartMessage())
  |       {
  |          encodeBody(buffer);
  |       }
  |       else
  |       {
  |          //else write the body to a cache and for each send only write 1k of body to the message
  |          if(correlationId == 0)
  |          {
  |             bodyCache = buffer.createNewBuffer(1024);
  |             encodeBody(bodyCache);
  |          }
  |          buffer.putBytes(bodyCache.array(), correlationId * 1024, 1024);
  |       }
  |       
  |       //The length doesn't include the actual length byte
  |       int len = buffer.position() - DataConstants.SIZE_INT;
  | 
  |       buffer.putInt(0, len);
  | 
  |       buffer.flip();
  |    }
  | 

Then we just keep on sending the same message but with the next part of the body.
