Up to now, the only way to compress file into 7z multi-volumes on Mac OS X I found is using the command line archiver, 7za.
For example:

'/Applications/EZ 7z.app/Contents/Resources/7za' a -mx5 -v90m '/your/filename.7z' '/your/directoryname'
You can get more usage of this command by input '/Applications/EZ 7z.app/Contents/Resources/7za' directly.

Manipulate 7z file on Windows

7-Zip is an open source software for 7z file packing and unpacking on Windows.
