How to extract tar archive from stdin?

Use - as the input file:

cat largefile.tgz.aa largefile.tgz.ab | tar zxf -

Make sure you cat them in the same order they were split.

If you're using zsh you can use the multios feature and avoid invoking cat:

< largefile.tgz.aa < largefile.tgz.ab tar zxf -

Or if they are in alphabetical order:

<largefile.tgz.* | tar zxf -
