extract a multifile .zip archive on Linux (with gunzip)

I have a large file in Wondows and neetd to transport it to a Linux server via the linux /tmp folder that has onlz limited capacity.

In order to do so I created a zip with 7zip on my Windows host (where I can not install any additional tools on, due to company resrictions) and split that into 4 files.

largefile.zip.001
largefile.zip.002
largefile.zip.003
largefile.zip.004

extracting the main ~.zip.001 with 7zip on Windows again, seems to pull the data from the other files ~.002-.004. So it somehow recognizez the relation among them.

now how can I achive the same thing on the linux target? gunzip largefile.zip.001 as well as gunzip largefile.zip.00{1,2,3,4} resulted into a unexpected end of file error.

Did I just not identify the right option in man gunzip, or can anybody recommened anything else to do this?
