Aside from this case (misunderstanding when creating the ISO image), how
often else will people end up in a situation where they need to split ISO
files? Backing up dual-layer DVD images to single layer DVDs? Or Blu-Ray
images? It seems like a very niche problem. With data images (as oppose
to DVD Video images or others where the specific filesystem layout can be
important), repacking is almost always going to be a wiser choice,
especially if you choose an archive format that handles splitting natively
(e.g. zip, or non-free rar) and in-archive checksumming (again zip, rar…)
