For this you can use osmconvert
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmconvert

You can download a full country and split it into multiple parts,
using poly files for this.

Take a look at sections "Bounding-polygon task", "Premade polygon
files" and "Converting to/from POLY format" here:

It indeed can only conflict on modified objects, but what I was trying
to say is that the chance to create duplicate objects or have
conflicts increases a lot when using older data + editing in a large
area + editing a lot of data.
