Clonezilla backups backed up to a FAT32 storage can't be opened after mounting. #79

Hello, I've noticed a peculiar issue, not exactly sure if this is 7zip not exactly understanding the image or maybe the way the clonezilla-util reads the backups. I have tens of backups that I've tested so far and only the ones that weren't backed up to a FAT32 storage (meaning the VOL_LIMIT_IN_INTERACTIVE wasn't set to 4096MB) are opening properly in 7zip after mounting through clonezilla-util. All of the backups I'm handling are NTFS partitions.
Here's an example of clonezilla-img log file of one that successfully mounts and is readable:

browsable_clonezilla-img.txt

Here's one stored to a FAT32 drive:
fat32_clonezilla-img.txt

The first one mounts fine and 7zip opens it without any issues, the latter mounts, however attempting to open it with 7zip results in this error:

Could this be fixed on the clonezilla util's side?
I've verified a couple of the images I've tested by doing a restore through clonezilla, so they aren't corrupted. My suspicion lies on the 4096 filesize limit and different formatting of the partition files.

Here's the resulting file format of an example FAT32 saved backup:

Here's the example of one that was saved to a partition format storage that doesn't have 4096MB file limit:
