Use ldifde to export the DG using
ldifde -f export.ldf -d "cn=\distribution group DN" -l member -s server
Then use a text editor to modify the DN and the action in your LDIF file.
Then import the results into the new directory.

RFC2849 has the LDIF specs and useful examples.

Just don't supply any "member" elements

dn: CN=GroupToModify,OU=Groups - Distribution Lists,OU=Users-Misc.
Accounts,OU=PNSC,DC=parent,DC=local
changetype: modify
replace: member

So there no limits on the amount of names in exchange 2003  Mail lists ?
not that I'm aware of - though extremely huge DL's will take longer to process than small ones
