If we just show the color-coded-bar, we give the user no clear
indication of how close we are to completion, because the bar (being
multicolored, as he shows, representing different completion status for
different blocks) would have to show all blocks in the splitfile, which
is more than just-the-number-of-blocks-we-want. I dunno, maybe we fill
green (got it) from one end, red from the other (given up), and have a
black border around the area representing the first two thirds (or
whatever it is for this particular splitfile), so when the
black-bordered-area gets filled up with green we've succeeded, or when
the red gets to the black bordered area we've failed.
