Description
As mentioned in https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js/pull/934, an error is thrown when attempting to load split ZIM archives in the wasm build. Mossroy had also mentioned this somewhere.
It would be great to have any thoughts on whether this issue is inherent in the parts of libzim that have been exposed here, or whether it has something to do with the way in which the archives parts are being presented to the WASM. The issue may well be in the wrapper code. Who might have some insight into this?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the failure described in the issue and the linked kiwix-js pull request 934, then trace how split ZIM archive parts are exposed to the WASM build through the JavaScript wrapper. Determine whether the problem lies in libzim's exposed interfaces or in presenting archive parts to WASM. Done means split ZIM archives load successfully in the WASM build.
