I wouldn't recommend breaking up images.

This really complicates things, and brings most of us (me anyway) back to the days when if we wanted a nice layout with Tables, images would have to be broken up.

When I changed over, this was one of the benefits of CSS that I heard of a lot. 'No need to break up images anymore' (etc, etc).

It can be difficult for beginners right through to intermediate to piece an image back together, especially if it is a large image and it has been broken into more than three pieces.

However, if you are really that desperate,it is always an option.
