Those are not RAR files they are RAW files. The FAT filesystem that is used on memory cards will not allow a file larger than 4GB to exist on it. When recording RAW, once the RAW file has reached the 4GB limit a new file is created and the recording continues to this new file. These RAW, R00, R01, etc... files are pieces of 1 file that need to be joined before using raw2dng as each one is incomplete on its own.

Joining files
WIN
    Start dialog: cmd
    1. cd C:\Users\my_destination_folder
    2. copy /B xyz.RAW+xyz.R00+xyz.R01 xyz.RAW

OSX/LINUX
    Start Terminal
    1. cd /Volumes/my_destination_folder
    2. cat xyz.RAW xyz.R00 xyz.R01 > xyz.RAW

Giving him commands to implement might be a bit optimistic!
