You can't do it through your SMF admin centre. You'll need cpanel, and specifically you'll need the phpMyAdmin section of cpanel.
You'll also need to run repair_settings.php after uploading the database. You will probably also need to manually reset the paths for any custom themes, and possibly the paths for smileys as well.

You need to split it up into parts, or you need to change the values in the php.ini file (or something). SMF can't help you with this, if you're having issues you will need to contact your host :).
