We continue the study of bin packing with splittable items and cardinality constraints. In this problem, a set of items must be packed into as few bins as possible. Items may be split, but each bin may contain at most
k
(parts of) items, where
k
is some fixed constant. Complicating the problem further is the fact that items may be larger than 1, which is the size of a bin. We close this problem by providing a polynomial-time approximation scheme for it. We first present a scheme for the case
k
= 2 and then for the general case of constant
k
.
Additionally, we present
dual
approximation schemes for
k
= 2 and constant
k
. Thus we show that for any
ε
> 0, it is possible to pack the items into the optimal number of bins in polynomial time, if the algorithm may use bins of size 1 +
ε
.
