I thought about some like that as well, but couldn't figure out how make it a generic solution for files of arbitrary size (the background of the question shouldn't have influenced my request for a generic solution)

I don't understand what you're saying. I just took the stated size of your file and divided by the number of cores. That can trivially be done by a script.

@frostschutz: Maybe only the first one. Although I can't find this documented, my testing indicates that conv=notrunc is implied by seek= with a positive value.
