It is to use along with split. e.g.

You take a single large file, say 16GB
Use split to break it into multiple files of 4GB
Now you can transfer it to a FAT32 Removable Flash Drive and transfer it to whatever other computer that doesn't have Ethernet.
Here, you can use cat to combine all files into the original file. (preferably accompanied by a checksum)
