They are files resulting from split(1). Simply cat them together:
cd /; cat /cdrom/dists/foodist/foo.* | tar -xvzf -

This is the table that's describing the filename mapping between the
iso9660 file names (dosish 8+3) and the `Posix' file names. If the
system where the CD is mounted understands the ``Rock Ridge''
extension (like FreeBSD does), you don't need to care about these
files, since you're already looking at the translated names after the
CD has been mounted (unless you're explicitly requesting to mount it
without RR extensions).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
