It's going to have some metadata to that effect yes, like a file index or number of parts or total extracted file size. I don't know the details, I've used them I haven't read the spec. rar is Rarlab's proprietary format so there might not even be a public spec.
They're normally all the same size except for the last part, so it's not that file 1 is just an index.
