How do I split a symbol/device into several pieces?

I am working with a device that has 260 pins; if I begin to wire it, it beings to get WAY too messy.

I was wondering if there was a way to break up the block into say 3 other blocks and wire that way. So instead of having say U1, I would have U1a, U1b, U1c.

Also; I'm using the windows version of the program and I only have a week of experience with Eagle 7.2.0

Thank you very much!

EDIT: Splitting up the blocks is essential. a square with 260 pins on the outside is very large and does not fit on my printing paper.

A bit of clarification on Chuck's comment (I just went through this
"moving" experience). You have to have what you want to move in a "group"
- even if that "group" is only one pin, it still needs to be first
"grouped" before you can move it to another sheet. Chuck did say that, bit
it is easy to read over that part of the statement. Look through the forum
here (I forgot to grab a link to it) - I had a post in the last few weeks
asking about moving symbols between schematic sheets.
