Don't forget, when you split up a file, with every other byte in 1 file, the whole is pretty dammed readable..... The same for images, recovery (with dedicated software) would be the same.
If your idea would be suitably useful, somebody else would have announced that on a large scale. I didn't hear of it.
Easier and more robust using something like true crypt volumes then mirror them.
