Try reading your input file in chunks and convert each chunk to xml iteratively. For example,

import pandas as pd

chunksize = 15

def convert_xml(df):
    Row_list =[]
    # Iterate over each row
    for index, rows in df.iterrows():
        # Create list for the current row
        my_list =[rows.col_1, rows.col_2]
        # append the list to the final list
        Row_list.append(my_list)
    with open('path/to/output/file', 'w') as f:
        f.write('n'.join(convert_row(record) for record in Row_list))

for chunk in pd.read_csv('path/to/file', chunksize=chunksize):
    convert_xml(chunk)

replace col_1 and col_2 with headers in your csv file.

If I undesrtand correctly, your code is working correctly but you have only one XML file with last chunk info.

It happens because you loop over chunks and rewrite result.xml at every iteration.

Just change file name for every chunk:

...

def convert_xml(df, file_name):

    ...
    
    with open(file_name, 'w') as f:
       f.write(...)

idx = 1
for chunk in csv_file:
    convert_xml(chunk, f'result_{idx}.xml')
    idx += 1
