App should automatically split audio files >25 MB and transcribe each part

[Bklieger]

Currently, the app can only handle audio files that are less than 25 MB. This is a limitation due to Whisper's max input file size of 25 MB. However, we can get around this limitation by splitting audio files greater than 25 MB into several files which can each be transcribed by the API. Then, the results can be combined into one transcript.

It should be noted that I believe there still needs to be an upper limit on the file size to preserve Whisper API cost. In addition, if the transcript becomes too large (# of tokens), then Groq API rate limits may cause errors on Groq API calls. There should be a check on this size as well.
