A quick Google search for "bzip2 file format" yielded this documentation 
page:

http://www.digistar.com/bzip2/docs/manual_toc.html

There's a section called "Recovering Data from Damaged Files" but the 
link apparently isn't working.  Perhaps you could poke around the net a 
bit and find the documentation mirrored somewhere?

HTH,
