This will give you one offset/size/filename tuple for each file. The plugin will then simply need to calculate which file to access to resolve each virtual file range (or substitute zeroes for missing files).
By which I mean, of course, that it accesses the offset/size directly by opening the tar file. The file doesn't have to be extracted. I'm still interested if you have a small XVA example you can share.
