The segments are all MacBinary encoded (.bin suffix). You can use Stuffit Expander to expand the primary segment (the one that doesn't contain any 00n numbers in the filename. You can then double-click on the resultant .dmg file. I've found that, at least under Panther, you don't need to unarchive the remaining .bin files. You'll end up with the disk image mounted on your system.

What I do though is to unarchive all the .bin files anyhow. I then use DiskUtility to burn the image to CD-ROM. Note that on systems prior to Panther, burning images was a feature in DiskCopy.
