as far as i know exporting privatekey can only be done one by one through API.
Cant you use bumpwallet?
dumpwallet "filename"
Dumps all wallet keys in a human-readable format.
Arguments:
1. "filename" (string, required) The filename
Examples:
> bitcoin-cli dumpwallet "test"
> curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "dumpwallet", "params": ["test"] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:8332/
It would give you a nice file that you can split by # of lines (mind the header though) and reimport into different wallet files via a short script.
