Any thoughts?

Answer 1

If your processor supports XSLT-2.0, you can try the code below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="StockMovementDataRequest/StockMovementData">
<xsl:result-document href="{concat('output', position(), '.xml')}">
<StockMovementDataRequest xmlns:p1="urn:ams.com.au:dynamo:3pl:am:SAP_AM_I_005:StockMovement" xmlns:a="http://www.edi.com.au/EnterpriseService">
<xsl:apply-templates select="preceding-sibling::Header"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</StockMovementDataRequest>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
it outputs, output1.xml and output2.xml based on your input.

Answer 2

Use Mule Splitter to split xml
<splitter expression="#[xpath3('//StockMovementDataRequest/StockMovementData',payload,'NODESET')]" doc:name="Splitter"/>
<mulexml:dom-to-xml-transformer doc:name="DOM to XML"/>
To aggregate the payload after splitter, use aggregator
<collection-aggregator doc:name="Collection Aggregator"/>
