Sorting files and folders on an organized way.

I spent too much time on this so far and got no positive results so I'd like to ask for a script to help me on this.
Basically I need a script that will auto organize ("sorting", "distributing"...?) selected files and folders in groups of ~700 MB and throw each group into a numbered folder, adding a warning if such folder has 5% upper or lower than 700 MB as total size.
Example of auto created folders:
"Backup001-max" - 1,5 GB (contains a file with size = 900 MB plus other 600 MB of files and folders)
"Backup002" - 695 MB
"Backup003" - 701 MB
"Backup004-min" - 645 MB (no other files available on source folder to fit it completely)
Help!

Help!
Not a complete solution, but for breaking up a file and folder collection in specified size chunks, perhaps
SizeMe could help?

If only it could do a better job with files larger than the maximum allowed per medium...
Thanks for the tip anyway, interesting proggie I can play with given the mentioned limitation.
