I've looked into this and it should be pretty easy to split up NumPy.
Here is what I got:

On a Intel Linux box I get the following libraries:

163996 _numpymodule.so
69147 multiarraymodule.so
159556 umathmodule.so
392699 total

I wonder if this is too large. Maybe umath should be left out. Also,
how would the existing array module fix in with this?

Umath also contains array arithmetic; without it, you can't add arrays,
for example. So it's rather fundamental.
