Your right about this - but I talked to one of the vmdk developers, and he
said that the lack of support was due to the lack of demand. (It is real
easy to use dd to convert split images into single images, so support for this
is not really needed.)

Basically, if u want split images to be supported in qemu, speak up now. ;)
