$count_array = count($data);
$i = 0;

foreach ($data as $entry) {
    if ($i == 0) {
        // code here to start first file
    } else if ($i % 50000 == 0) {
        // code here to end previous file and start next file
    }

    // write entry to current file
    // insert code here....

    // increment counter
    $i++;
}

// code here to end last file
