Default I'm going to record a gig multitrack tomorrow

I'm a little worried. I have a rather old Acer laptop with 2 gigs of RAM, a MOTU 16-channel combination rack and a USB 2.0 hard drive. The combo worked perfectly and was plenty enough when I multitracked drums a while ago, but I'm concerned about the long 1.5 hour audioclips I'm going to get tomorrow. There is no "split during record" in Reaper and recording a, say, 20 minute loop doesn't make new a new audio clip either when the loop starts over but rather continues the same audioclip into the next take.

First of all, should I be worried? Or is Reaper so intelligent that it "streams" my audio to the hard disk and I don't have to worry about the audio clip length? Or is there a way to split during recording without pausing recording, moving the cursor to the next location and continue from there?
