No, you did it right. You don't need the partition table, just the actual
partition.
Can you try: diskutil info /dev/disk0s3
Hopefully that will give you the real size of the disk.
Also try blockdev --getsize /dev/disk0s3
should i have copied disk0 -> a new drive with no pre-existing partition table?
No. You are fine. Just find out the old size of the partition and create a
new partition anywhere, just as long as it's the same size.
I wouldn't run ddrescue again for no reason - once a hard disk fails it
starts getting worse the more you use it. You won't get as much data the
second time, so keep what you go already.
if i understand what you're saying i can use dd to copy data off disk0s3 while
ddrescue is currently running?
Yes. To some other partition you are not using. Hopefully on a different
physical disk, or it will be very slow.
