If you were taking a stream and breaking it up arbitrarily with dd, does that imply that filesystem data defining the contents were isolated to the first volume (or however many it took to describe the contents)?  Or is there something you could do with dd in that circumstance to amount to more than just bytes in bytes out to prop up a filesystem superblock on each individual volume?  Granted, I don't have a lot of experience in this area, so I could be comparing apples to your oranges for all I know.
