In fact, you want to do manual partitioning.
Why reinvent the wheel?

What problem do you have to solve? 30 GB is not so big, but since when
do you store data? Will you purge the table? What is the main access key
of your queries (critical for the partitioning key)?

Without other information I'd say that if you never read the former
months again, partition by month, perhaps by year.
