Have you considered the dd command? It lets you skip any number of charactersbytes, then output any number of charactersbytes.

dd if=infilename bs=1 skip=sk count=ct 2>/dev/null

dd, input file name, block size 1, skip first sk charactersbytes of input file, then copy ct charactersbytes to stdout (or specify a file with of=name). Redirect error messages to avoid the status messages it usually prints at the end.
