  Hi there
  If you still have access to your old site, you can export just selected parts. Perhaps export the posts in several increments, then the media, then the other parts. See:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/#export-your-content-to-another-blog-or-platform

  Then import the files. That should reduce the size of the import file.

  If you have already tried this and the .XML file is still over 15 MB, there are .XML splitter apps out there that you could use.
  http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-split-large-xml-files-in-wordpress/ for example

  Out of curiosity, how big is your export file?
