I was the person at that DebConf session who suggested concatenatable images. And in particular, if you want to handle media of power-of-two sizes (1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB), you can provide concatenatable images of power-of-two sizes after the first: 1GB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB. More generally, if you want to support sizes a, b, c, d, e, ..., then provide images of size a, b-a, c-b, d-c, e-d, ...
Offsets were exactly what I had in mind when I suggested that this seemed easily fixable: you can tell how big the first image is supposed to be, so just look right after that image for another image, and repeat until you don't find another image.
