You can't concatenate flac files directly. Sox can combine them for
you. For example:

sox part1.flac part2.flac part3.flac all.flac

will make a new file called 'all.flac' which consists of the
concatenated audio from each part. If you sox was built without flac
support, decode each part to a .wav file, run sox on the .wavs and
then recompress all.wav.

Also, most tools will handle concatenated vob files, so you can try
'cat'-ing those together before extracting the audio in the first
place.
