By playing around with the header a bit I managed to extract part of the file
("Configurations2" and "Pictures") but unfortunately the extraction failed
immediately before the most important part, i.e. "content.xml". And without
content.xml the rest of the file is useless for purposes of reconstructing the
original document.
It may still be possible to extract the remainder of the archive but it would
involve quite a bit of fiddling around and there would be no guaranteed results
anyway. Data that is corrupted is, for most purposes, data that's effectively
not there.
