Due to the way most modern filesystems (including all filesystems that windows supports) work, the only clean way to implement this is to have each segment appear as a separate drive. The operating system only sees the drive as a block-level device, so the drive doesn't know anything about folders or files. It just sees binary data.
You could implement a virtual block-level device on the device, and read files from that to write to each segment, but that would be a major performace hit, and push the cost up significantly as each segment would need a processor and a few megabytes of ram.
The only other way I can think of would be a custom driver.
