Hi,
this would require a lot of refactoring within the plugin. The plugin would have to know about all the older sitemap files in case a post is deleted and that makes the whole thing a bit complicated.
Do you really have that much posts? A sitemap file is allowed to contain up to 50.000 posts.
Best regards,
Arne

thats actually quite easy to achieve…
we can use a bucket scheme:-
suppose i have a setting that each sitemap should contain only atmost 2000 posts.
we decide which sitemap the post goes to based on its post-id:
int($post->id/2000)
there maybe some posts that dont exist and hence the sitemap may contain less than 2000 urls, but that should be fine i think.. as it makes things/ calculations easier,
when the user changes the setting for the max number of url per sitemap, we rebuild all the sitemaps.
one of the blogs i have is since 1999 (one of the earliest blogs) and has more than 200,000 blog posts.
if you need help implementing this feature, i will be happy to help.
