Yes, that's probable. I earlier posted code for doing exactly that, 
creating a SDL_RWops structure from a section of a file.

But since Andre said he's using on-the-fly decompression using bzip2, I 
assumed that he ends up with one memory block for each logical file, and 
creates one SDL_RWops structure for each of them, with the correct start 
and ending. If not, that's how it should be done.
