Archiving will allow for better indexing within the file, but as far as reducing the actual size of the box, it won't dramatically reduce it. With a box that big i would simply go back a certain amount of time, explort into a pst and then have that archived so the most recent emails (and a much smaller size pst and box can be indexed.
