My understanding is that the way rsync works, if a file already exists, then checksums are computed for ranges of the file, and the data is only sent/updated if that range is determined to have changed. While you can likely configure rsync to send the whole file, I think that it does what you want by default. This is very easy for you to test for yourself.
