How to extract tar archive from stdin?

Viewed 56299

I have a large tar file I split. Is it possible to cat and untar the file using pipeline.

Something like:

cat largefile.tgz.aa largefile.tgz.ab | tar -xz

instead of:

cat largefile.tgz.aa largfile.tgz.ab > largefile.tgz
tar -xzf largefile.tgz

I have been looking around and I can't find the answer. I wanted to see if it was possible.
