BRN2 does something similar.  It "threads" binary sets with similar names.
For example, while pan would display:

 foobar.rar.001
 foobar.rar.002
 foobar.rar.003
 ....
 foobar.rar.092
 foobar.rar.093

BNR2 would display:

 +foobar.rar (93/93)

If some of the files are incomplete, it would display

 +foobar.rar (89/93)

Expanding the "thread" would show the individual files.

I think it's a good idea, but not for 1.0 :)
