how to bypass by breaking the reference into multiple
smaller references to save internal values, is there another way to do it

If its on Excel saves the values it has read from the external links with
the workbook that contains the links. This enables Excel to recalculate the
workbook without going back to the external file. I recommend leaving it ON,
but you could try turning it off and seeing how that works for you.

The not enough memory message is caused by too many external links (max is
16000 in a single reference: bypass by breaking the reference into multiple
smaller references)

What exactly is Save External Link Values, and is it necessary for linked
files? I keep getting a message that says 'Not enough memory'....'unable to
save external link values'. Before I turned it off, I'd like to know what
I'm doing to the workbook. The help files don't seem to have anything on
it, or it's listed in some obscure way.
