You can recover the concatenated contents of the files with gzip -d, and you can recover the boundaries between the files by decoding the output binary stream yourself (please see Internet RFC 1952), separating each member out, and then applying gzip -d separately to each member. The names of the files are lost, though, since you specified --no-name.
