That's kind of a strange feature to ask for.  Can you explain what you
are trying to achieve?

I seldom see more than couple of hundred megabytes in any one file
when I use a new file for each hour, and it's a lot easier to write
scripts to post-process when I can match filenames with simple regular
expressions.
