        rdiff signature 25gigfile 25gigfile.sig
        modify the 25gigfile
        rdiff delta 25gigfile.sig 25gigfile 25gigfile.delta

that should do it, i don't think you need to create a patched file... 
you'd need the original of the 25gigfile to do the patch step anyhow (the 
one you created the sig from).
