If you absolutely cannot do the work that Andries pointed out, you
could "manually" setup a bunch of loop devices, to select the other
partitions.

As I've proven on my DVD RAM drive, you can setup loop devices
directly on a device. You'd need to make a script that parses the
partition table, and creates the right loop devices.

(Hmm. Can loop handle offsets larger than 32 bits? That's going to be
a big setback if it doesn't!)
