Manually specifying different HTTP ranges of the same resource is more verbose, more error-prone and more confusing than just specifying different resources. Other than that, I guess it would work.

That's largely opinion: are byte ranges really better than having to maintain clusters of related images? Any serious site already has to deal with things like cache invalidation when a source file changes and by the scale of things which sites do for performance this is certainly no worse than, say, JavaScript/CSS minification or UA sniffing.
