I don't understand this.

As an editor by trade, I hope you'll understand the concept of cutting something into pieces, then re-assembling the pieces.

Well I have Harmy's Despecialized.v.2.1.iso file, and I've cut it into three pieces called:
ABC
00000.m2ts
xyz

You already have the second piece, or know where to get it.
The first and last pieces are small-- about one megabyte combined, and I'll give you them.
You could assemble the pieces to build an exact copy of Harmy's .iso

On a Macintosh system or other UN*X derivative, you could assemble the pieces with a command similar to this:
$ cat ABC 00000.m2ts xyz >Despecialized.v.2.1.iso

On a Windows system, something like this:
C:\> copy /B ABC+00000.mt2s+xyz Despecialized.v.2.1.iso

Does it make sense, in theory?

Is Mr.Cannon again canon in the BD extras?

Like twister said 'levels of canon' is ridiculous.
Reminds me of another pet peeve, phrases such as 'very unique' or 'extremely unique' all too common these days, especially describing mass-produced merchandise.
It's unique with no qualifier, or it's not. Canon, or not.

OT movies are canon, EU not.
Although I did buy paperback Splinter during the '70s but since then European Union is my only EU

I had only four damaged files, and the rest were fine.)
So if I've understood correctly, in your case repair wasn't required-- only verify and unrar.
I do believe the original par set is b0rken.

As althor kindly supplied more redundancy than I needed, I reinstated those four damaged files giving me 44.
Then repaired the lot using the new par set. In like Flynn!

Forty or more incompletes is a lot, no doubt.
Though I suspect hiccups from my Internet service provider to blame, not the news service provider.
(A month from now I'll have new ISP so no worries.)
With diligent redownloading of parts I might've reduced the forty considerably.
Nevertheless if NSP has even one incomplete part it would've been unrepairable
if the par set was bad, if my theory is correct.

That new par set should be posted for posterity methinks.
To show my gratitude I'd volunteer to do it; however, my ISP seems flaky
and probably best posted under althor's name anyway.
Then some posterior who's not following this thread might have better odds finding it.

Thanks to Chew and Mattman for your suggestions.
Hugs and kisses for althor!

Replacements had the correct names; however I did notice the broken four still present in the directory with *.1 suffix.
Unfortunately removing them didn't make a difference: par2cmdline failed again.
phpar2 failed.
MultiPar failed.

Surely I can't ask Shirley or anybody else to repost forty rar parts.
Anybody fancy creating a new par set? 1% redundancy would suffice.
Roughly equivalent to reposting a single rar part.

No hurry. Haven't finished the other ESB sides yet, nor even started grabbing ROTJ.
Thanks in advance to anybody who hasn't yet deleted rar parts after unpacking ESB-Side4
