Also you should pay attention that the much easier and safer way to install the game is to download via torrent.Thanks for the info.
I did indeed follow those directions. As I said, I used 7-zip (the program) to combine the (18) downloaded parts into the one massive (62Gb) ".7z" file.
Then I was able to decompress the 7z file using 7-zip.
That's how I ended up with a folder containing the game files.
MD5 is one algorithm for checking the validity of a downloaded file.
The Better Repack site gives the CRC, MD5, and SHA-1 hashes but only for the complete pack:

If someone has the hashes for the different split parts, I could know which ones I need to redownload.
Edit:
From what I've found, recombining split parts does not actually check whether the files are valid or not.
Behind the scenes, when you open the ".001" file, 7-zip is just stitching all the files together and doesn't care whether the pieces are corrupt.
That's why I was able to get a 7z file out of the parts I downloaded, even though the 7z file itself did not match the original file.
