Now what I'm interested in is whether or not the splitting of the file into multiple chunks is actually necessary. It seems you should be able to just use bzip2recover on parts of the complete file.
Wow, it gets even better. Not only is this not necessary, but the source code to bzip2recover is tiny. See http://swtch.com/usr/local/plan9/src/cmd/bzip2/bzip2recover.c
If anyone is interested in discussing more about this, I'm going to bring it up on wiki-research-l. This is probably the wrong mailing list.
