Firstly this mailing list is for libusb-win32 and not libusb. So you may
want to subscribe to the correct libusb mailing list here.
   https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/libusb-devel

libusb Website:
http://libusb.info/
https://github.com/libusb/libusb/wiki

Anyway, in general you do not need to worry, libusb and the Windows
driver stack will split the things for you.

The only exception may be Control Transfer. There you have a hard
limit of 4096 bytes for libusb under Windows and Linux.

Interestingly I do not see such limitation in libusb-win32 of
control transfer from the source code.
