Well, if you want to experiment.

dd dev -> .iso each of the smaller part.
make .iso writable.
combine
dd .iso -> dev one part

In theory, this should work.

dd is also basically xcopy, dd if=file of=file -> into new part.

At this point, if you are just moving data rsync, or others, may be your
best bet.
