What's the best way to write to more files than the kernel allows open at a time?

I have a very large binary file and I need to create separate files based on the id within the input file. There are 146 output files and I am using cstdlib and fopen and fwrite. FOPEN_MAX is 20, so I can't keep all 146 output files open at the same time. I also want to minimize the number of times I open and close an output file.

How can I write to the output files effectively?

I also must use the cstdlib library due to legacy code.
