[Paraview] using partitioned legacy vtk format

Shimon,

For me (in Version 2.4.4) the *.pvd "mother" or meta- file does what you 
are asking. I have attached an example file called fmavto.pvd. Please 
note that ParaView (and the *.pvd reader) expects each of your 'zones' 
to be a displayable object, that is, you should be able to read each 
zone file and post process the file as a distinct, complete graphics 
data set. The *.pvd reader is time step aware and part-number/name aware 
(use the Extract Dataset filter to work with 1, 2, or many zones as a 
sub-group).
Note: The name attribute is undocumented but works (very well);  it is 
your chance to give each part (or in your terminology 'zone') a useful 
name rather than a number. Look for the name in the Extract Datasets 
face-sheet (left panel).
