What I would suggest:
Work out how much you can get (at acceptable compression) on a VCD. Let's say an hour.
Load your project into the timeline.
Run forward through the project to a suitable point at about an hour duration.
Use the scissors to cut the clip at that point.
Repeat at two hours. (you now have the project divided into three parts)
Save the project, using a new name.
Delete the parts of the project to the right of the break (this only deletes from the project, not from the hard drive)
Pretty up the ending if you wish (eg a title, Please insert disc 2...)
Render to a video file.
Burn to VCD.
Reload the project. deleting the front and back sections (you now have the middle bit).
Render and burn.
Repeat for the third bit.

You can fit three hours on one CD, but I don't think you'll like the results. You have to use an extremely low bitrate to make it fit -- these numbers were calculated using the bitrate calculator at DVD-HQ:
These numbers are lower than what you see for alot of online streaming video.Maximum Kb/s: 1050
Average Kb/s: 300
Minimum Kb/s: 100
