No, the headers in each part are relative to the part itself. The
Content-Location just says that the same thing could be (have been)
obtained at that URL. The Content-Range and Content-Length would be
wrong there.

I think you'd have to make a new header conveying the range of the
part; I don't think you can reuse Content-Range in any way...

Given the definition of multipart/parallel, I'm not even sure you're
right in using it here...

How about using message/external-body;access-type=URL [1] in each part
of a new multipart/xxx message?
