I don't follow, what do you mean with "failure modes"? The oid in the
filename? I suggested to use a sequence instead but you didn't comment on
that. Are there any other failure modes which could cause a diff -r between
two different databases to break?

(This might be a bad idea for some other reason, but I noticed a few other
users requesting the same feature when I googled "pg_dump split".)
