Yes , I want to use two 500MegOhms or four 250MegOhms resistors.
Gyro:
It sounds as if you should build it out of a series - parallel combination of 500Meg resistors in that case. You don't have your country flag set, but Farnell have a 25% price break at 10pcs. I would think that other distributors would have something similar.


Edit: Sorry, I missed the "or".
TimFox:
The simplest approach is to make a series string of several resistors (more is better) and put equal appropriate capacitors across each one.  Again, resistors have a noticeable voltage co-efficient at high voltage, but ceramic capacitors can have huge voltage dependence—read the data sheet for individual types.  When last I worked with 100 kV, good high-voltage capacitors were easier to find (used in CRT supplies, etc.).

I found several resistors as following:

MOX94021007FTE: (MOX940)



MOX96021007FTE: (MOX960)







SM108035006FE:





TimFox:
Choosing resistors with a specification (even “typ”) on VCR is a good idea.  Note that the spec is “ppm/V”, so the ppm (10-6) must be multiplied by the voltage across the resistor to get the fractional deviation (this can be derived from a quadratic function of current vs. voltage, rather than linear).
