What about we do something like this:

dn: @INDEXLIST
@IDXATR: someAttr
@IDXSPLIT: 100

if "@IDXSPLIT" is present then its value is the number of DNs in an
index record before we start splitting the record up.

Then within a index record we could have this:

dn: @INDEX:OBJECTCLASS:USER
@IDX: CN=BLU,OU=Domain Controllers,DC=vsofs1,DC=com
@IDX: CN=krbtgt,CN=Users,DC=vsofs1,DC=com
@IDX: CN=Guest,CN=Users,DC=vsofs1,DC=com
@IDX: CN=Administrator,CN=Users,DC=vsofs1,DC=com
@IDX: CN=dns,CN=Users,DC=vsofs1,DC=com
@IDX: CN=tridge,CN=Users,DC=vsofs1,DC=com
@IDXMORE: @INDEX:1:OBJECTCLASS:USER

the @IDXMORE entry would indicate a chain onto the next indexing
record.

dn: @INDEX:1:OBJECTCLASS:USER
@IDX: CN=tridge2,CN=Users,DC=vsofs1,DC=com

So @IDXSPLIT would say that ldb should split the index, but @IDXMORE
would tell ldb that there is one that is already split.

Cheers, Tridge
