Perhaps checking out
"man logrotate"
and
/etc/logrotate.conf
will help you a little?

I have no experience with modifying
logrotate.conf, but my hunch is that
everything you need can be tweaked from there.

Brief note (maybe useless):
/etc/logrotate.conf is read first
by the cronjob daemon and then
/etc/logrotate.d/apache
is read which then calls
/usr/local/sbin/split_logs
