For .par2 files and .par sets get the quickpar utility
Then, if there is a problem with one or more of the files that the par
set has been generated for, damaged partial, renamed, or missing, the
par facility will check if there are enough blocks of the recovery
information to generate the missing bits.
and
for files that have been split using the par facility (rather than zip,
7zip, or the more usual rar sets.) the recovery includes generating a
joined file.
The quick par facility will also indicate which files are not considered
good, and if the files cannot be regenerated or corrected, allowing you
to decide if the good bits are worth keeping without the damaged bits
