You may either

use a 'large picture' (23.040, 9.2.3.24) which has to
fit in 'one single SM or one segment of a concatenated SM', this means
a 'large picture' (and a 'small picture' as well) is not allowed to
span between messages

or

use any picture as part of an 'extended object' (23.040,
9.2.3.24.10.1.11), where it is allowed to span as many messages as you
want. The concatenation of the 'extended object' is done via a 8bit
reference number for the parts of the extended object.
