Simply put them back together. Split only does a binary split of a file.
You could either use some tool like Total Commander or similar or simply
the command prompt:

copy /b part1 + part2 wholefile.bz2

might work, I'm not sure though.

PS: You couldn't "open" the parts on linux either, you'd need to
concatenate them, e.g. cat part1 part2 | bunzip2 > uncompressedfile
