That has at least as many failure modes as the other representation.
I don't follow, what do you mean with "failure modes"? The oid in the filename? I suggested to use a sequence instead but you didn't comment on that. Are there any other failure modes which could cause a diff -r between two different databases to break?
(This might be a bad idea for some other reason, but I noticed a few other users requesting the same feature when I googled "pg_dump split".)
