The properties of the two-flavored Gross-Neveu model in the (1+1)-dimensional R{sup 1}xS{sup 1} spacetime with compactified space coordinate are investigated in the presence of the isospin chemical potential {mu}{sub I}. The consideration is performed in the limit N{sub c}{yields}{infinity}, i.e. in the case with infinite number of colored quarks. It is shown that at L={infinity} (L is the length of the circumference S{sup 1}) the pion condensation phase is realized for arbitrary small nonzero {mu}{sub I}. At finite values of L, the phase portraits of the model in terms of parameters {nu}{approx}{mu}{sub I} and {lambda}{approx}1/L are obtained both for periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions of the quark field. It turns out that in the plane ({lambda},{nu}) there is a strip 0{<=}{lambda}<{lambda}{sub c} which lies as a whole inside the pion condensed phase. In this phase the pion condensation gap is an oscillating function vs both {lambda} (at fixed {nu}) and {nu} (at fixed {lambda})
