The message/partial MIME type is defined in RFC 2046. Mutt doesn't
support it because nobody yet was written code to do it.

No. I will suggest that you copy the 5 parts in sequence to a new
mbox folder, and then reassemble the original message in an editor
by deleting the overhead from splitting it in parts:
1) Delete "Subject", "Message-ID", "Encrypted", and "MIME-Version"
headers, and all headers starting with "Content-" from the
message enclosing the first part.
2) The body of the first message/partial part contains headers
too. Delete all except "Subject", "Message-ID", "Encrypted",
and "MIME-Version" headers, and except headers starting with
"Content-".
3) Join the headers not deleted in 1) and 2). Now you have the
real headers of the message.
4) Join all of the bodies by deleting all headers lines and the
blank lines between headers and bodies from the other parts.
