Or, in one go

cat file.mpg.? file.mpg.?? file.mpg.??? > file.mpg

If you want to be more sure/selective/specific, use [0-9] rather than ?:

cat file.mpg.[0-9] file.mpg.[0-9][0-9] file.mpg.[0-9][0-9][0-9] > file.mpg

That is file.rar, file.r00, file.r01, etc.

That is the "old" .rar naming convention. The "new" one has
file.part01.rar, file.part02.rar, etc, with the necessary number of 0s.

You always use the "unrar" command on the first file, i.e. file.rar or
file.part1.rar.
