Can you open a Split WINRAR archive halfway through?

So lets say I have... 33 files, and for some reason I want to Split my Archives such that I have 102 archives in the end, each of which is X megabytes, and then delete all the original files, including deleting them from the recycling bin, then upload the split archives to the web, and deleting them from my computer.

If later, I wish to acquire the 30th file out of 33, I'd have to download all 102 archives, (or maybe up to the 90th or so, since the last 3 files are irrelevant).

Is there any way to only have to download Archives 80 to 90, then extract them and acquire my designated file?

My guess as to why this doesn't already work, is because then you end up with corrupted files, for example, File Y that was contained within archives 79, 81, and 81, is now corrupted because the first third wasn't downloaded.

so im asking is there any method to use, to ignore File Y, and only keep the contents that aren't corrupted, without having to download 102 archives
