Can some of the longer stages of the itinerary be divided?

Yes, below is a list of all the stages that we can divide, so that you do not have to walk so many daily kilometres:

St. Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles (with overnight in Valcarlos).
Roncesvalles to Zubiri (with overnight in Bizkarreta).
Los Arcos to Logroño (with overnight in Viana).
Mazarife to Astorga (with overnight in Hospital de Órbigo).
Rabanal del Camino to Ponferrada (with overnight in El Acebo de San Miguel).
Villafranca del Bierzo to O Cebreiro (with overnight in Las Herrerías).
Sarria to Portomarín (with overnight in Ferreiros).
Portomarín to Palas de Rei (with overnight in Ventas de Narón).
Palas de Rei to Arzúa (with overnight in Melide).

There are some stages that cannot be divided as our quality department has determined that it is not recommended based on our standards. This is because luggage cannot be transported or there are no accommodations available. For the stages you find longer, you can take a taxi in the morning after breakfast, to drop you off at a point along the way where you can guarantee to finish the stage. This is the most popular option with walkers. You can also take a look at these other options of the Camino Frances.
