Mar 10, 2013 at 0:53 comment added PolyGeo Welcome to SE GIS John. I suspect a solution will be along the lines of trying to identify your "narrow necks" first - this may be easier using raster rather than vector tools - the output would probably be a point feature class. Then I think it will need to identify any "oversize" polygons that have "narrow necks" within them - this bit should be easy. From there I think the last step will be to decide which "narrow neck" to split at first (if there is more than one) & what line angle to use through that point to cut the "oversize" polygon through its chosen "narrow neck".
