But it has been mentioned here that RECEIVE FROMNETWORK now supports an enormous number of FILEDEFs (I've watched it; it seems to extract in batches of a few hundred; concatenate the outputs, and perform selection on the ensemble). I don't believe that SMP/E has any awareness that it needs to extract only a subset of files in a package. But my knowledge may be outdated.
