use
split -d -l 60000 ${file} ${file}-
which should give you files of the format
$file-01
$file-02
$file-0...

if the split file is going to generate more than 99 files, add -a 4 to the parameters...

i.e.
split -d -l 60000 MyFile.txt MyFile.txt-
gives
MyFile.txt-01
MyFile.txt-02
MyFile.txt-03
MyFile.txt-...

Then write a script that renames the files ala

for file in `ls MyFile.txt-*`
do
     prefix=${file%%.txt*}
#    echo $prefix
     suffix=${file##file.txt}
#    echo $suffix
     echo ${prefix}${suffix}.txt
     mv $file ${prefix}${suffix}.txt
done
