fyi; the same design-flaw is in winrar, if you rar a rar-set then you won't be able to open the contence of that rar-set (meaning you must first fully uncompressing the first rar). ...you can test it yourself on your pc with winrar by first compressing for example a 700mb avi file to rar-set (in ex. split in 50mb sections) and after that compressing that rar-set into a new .rar file then try to play that avi without uncompressing it by open the rar-set inside the rar-file under winrar.

easy; no.

doable; should be, just need to list all archives, then concate the lists (removing any duplicates, obviously)
