As suggested by Amar you can divide your workflow in different or sub workflows. SharePoint 2013 designer allows you to call a SharePoint 2010 workflow from a SharePoint 2013 workflow.

Have you tried creating 2 workflows of smaller file size by distributing the responsibilities of your current workflow in these 2 workflows and calling 1 workflow from another? I am not sure if this feature is available in SharePoint Designer. But such feature is present in Nintex workflow.
