No, rather tell pg_filedump to use the second segment (.1 file) and
substract the total number of blocks in the first segment. If my math
is right there are 131072 blocks of 8kB per 1GB segment, so to dump
block 165390 you need to ask for block 34318 in the second segment:
pg_filedump -R 34318 34320 134401986.1
