One option is to export in 3DS format and convert it with 3DS2POV
(win3ds2pov.exe) to POV-Ray mesh2 format. This mesh2 format is supported
by superpatch and megapatch and it will result in smaller files.
Additional benefit is the fact, that this way all the uv information
from Rhino is retained and you can have uv-mapping in POV-Ray.
For links go to the www.povray.org links section, I believe that links
to all mentioned tools are there.
