Yes, these are what all the files sbase.aa and so on are (in the CD or
on the FTP site). They're the results of splitting up .tar.gz files
into more manageable chunks.

To install them, do something like:-

# mkdir /usr/src
# cd /usr/src
# cat /cdrom/dists/src/slib.* | tar xzvf -

(Or use the install.sh script in the same place the split files came
from).
