It doesn't have to, I guess it depends on the scheme used. If anything,
redundant splitting is the only way to get streamable speeds from data
in Freenet.

There are no plans to involve FNP in any way, meaning that it will only
relate to clients, nodes just see data as data. Clients reinserting
parts they could not receive has been discussed, and could be a good
idea, but needs to be done with care (so that data cannot be created
purposely so as to incite others to flood the network).

Though here at journey's end I lie 
  In darkness buried deep,          above all shadows rides the Sun
beyond all towers strong and high,    and the Stars forever dwell:
  beyond all mountains steep,       I will not say the Day is done,
                                      nor bid the Stars farewell.
