Richard,
I take it you can’t just place the eps’s into your RIP and print.
It would have been a help if you were supplied the original layout file in illustrator (ai) accompanied with the placed images.
You could then reduce the image sizes within photoshop, resave as eps files (with compression, maximum quality).
Then when you try to open the original ai file swap the images to your new images at a lower resolution. This should then help you process the files easier.
The files you have been supplied sound like they are over cooked, depending what size/resolution you are looking at for end product.
You could also just try opening the files in photoshop. The files will be rasterized but least you may get somewhere.
Regards
Stuart

What happens when you try to open them?
A file that size might take 5 mins to open on a slow PC.

I had to open a .tiff that size this morning. It took longer for the preview to open up in Photoshop than it did to open the actual file.
