You cut it to whatever size you want with a razor blade or a pill splitter. It has a halflife of about a week, so minor inaccuracies in dosage from day to day are a non-factor clinically.

Another option is to crush it with a spoon, then mix the powder with some rice flour, divide into whatever equal-size piles/doses desired, and scoop them into empty gelcaps with the end of a knife. The pills are small, so mixing with rice flour fluffs it up for greatly reduced inaccuracy.
