Cell Fracture Settings

I spent a lot of time making an object look correct and it has a high number of subdivisions. I want to use cell fracture on it but it is relating to the number of cells to create to the amount of subdivisions. Is there a way to modify this to make it create less cells than what it defaults to? I have played with the settings in the Cell Fracture menu, but nothing I try seems to work. (it breaks it up into 30+ cells {and blender then will freeze} when I want more like 8 or 12)

I had a pretty decent results by placing GP marks on object and checkmarking in fracture panel. It’s possible to draw centre as a circle and lines breaks will happen along. Some dots on faces usually are enough. Make sure GP draws on object’s surface.
