As was mentioned, rpmforge has it. For what it's worth, p7zip does the same thing and somewhat more quickly at least in my very rough benchmarks, e.g. time rar e something.rar vs 7z e something rar.
Did I understand right? "7z x" can unrar multipart *.rar archives faster than unrar nonfree? How is the CLI syntax?
I have a page where I cover this a bit. http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/dvds.html (there's a section on rar)
At any rate, on my VERY informal benchmarks, just using the time command, it was faster. The syntax for that is identical to rar/unrar
7z e <first file in the rar series>, so for example
7z e 01.rar
Will unrar a section of rar files.
