You could also use the svndumpfilter that comes with Subversion to create
one SVN repository pr project, then do the export to HG.

It would probably be something like:
> svnadmin create project1Repo
> svnadmin create project2Repo
> svnadmin dump YourBigRepo > big.dump
> cat big.dump | svndumpfilter include path/to/project1 --drop-empty-revs |
svnadmin load project1Repo
> cat big.dump | svndumpfilter include path/to/project1 --drop-empty-revs |
svnadmin load project2Repo
:
etc.
