I can't speak for split, as I've not tried it.  But cat certainly does
concatenate separate files together, whether they're text or binary.

Given a directory of split AVI files like part001, part002, part003,
etc., a command like "cat part* >> fullfile.avi" gives you an assembled
AVI file.

I've done that before, and it's worked flawlessly.  I don't know what
they used the split the file, in the first place, though.
