Here in the Midwest large sliders are held by some over-center latches that pull the edges of the doors tight to the door opening at each side of the door. If the door is split, then a pipe is set into the ground in the center into which another pipe can drop and thus hold the center of the doors from swinging out. In your case, you will need to use over-center latches on the outer edges, and then again where the doors meet, and then a sunken pipe in the middle. OR..... use a double track of heavy iron set into the ground with a blade on each door that runs in it. Also, you'll need to have those doors slide behind some brackets that hold them from blowing around when they are open.
