How to Print Large Image Across two A4 pages

Well Clueless you have to try or you never learn, although I also recommend PosteRazor and maybe print using PDF's

A big lack of information about your larger image, Gimp uses pixels and it might be large (or massive or tiny). Is it landscape or portrait orientation ?

First thing read Ofnuts discourse on pixels-per-inch https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-Image-size-in-Gimp

All sorts of ways possible, from crops as Ofnuts or use selections or the following using Guides and let the printer do the scaling. 

Open the image, In Image -> Guides there are tools to add / remove guides https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-image-guides.html
(1) Use New Guide (by Percent) and add a 52% (or more) Vertical guide.
(2) Image -> Slice using Guides makes two new images.
(3) You only need the left side.

   

(4) Start again with original image, this time with a 48% guide.
(5) This time keep the right side.

   

A bit about printing in Windows, which is a pita and also depends on the manufacturers setup.
(6) You fill maximum area using the x/y resolution.
(7) Adjust margins if you have borderless printing available, otherwise get the scissors out and trim after printing.
