The instructions for debricking the K3 using the ATK state offsets for the kernel and root fs, however, no size is specified since flashing will just stop when the image file ends.

The getkernels script will extract it automatically from the first 32MB of /dev/mmcblk0 on the kindle, or from an image file...

As the source code shows, the main kernel starts at 0x41000. Its length is obtained from the flash header at the start of the image.
To extract the RAMfs image that is inside the kernel image, there is a reference later in the getkernels thread to another offsite script that can do that.
