I can't speak for split, as I've not tried it. But cat certainly does concatenate separate files together, whether they're text or binary. Given a directory of split AVI files like part001, part002, part003, etc., a command like "cat part* >> fullfile.avi" gives you an assembled AVI file. I've done that before, and it's worked flawlessly. I don't know what they used the split the file, in the first place, though. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
