Amazon does a varying amount of processing and reformatting of books depending on what was originally provided by the publisher and the specific format being delivered to the user (MOBI, KF8, KFX, etc.).

Am I correct in saying that these files in essence are separate PDF files each containing pages from the book and need to be joined together to create a complete document?

The .azw.res files may contain either PDFs or just page images. It varies by book.
If you add up the total size of .azw.res files along with the .azw file it should give you a rough idea of the size of the content Amazon is providing for that book.

Without knowing more about this specific book it is hard to say whether or not anything can be done. If those .azw.res files contain highly processed PDF files or only images then the original content will not be recoverable from KFX format.

If you provide the ASIN of the book (ten character ID starting with "B") I may be able to tell more by looking at the product listing and the the free sample for it, as long as it is available in my region.
