Damnit, I had replyed to this, but of course mail broke down s i was 
sending. Basicly:
instead of selecting with mouse you should be able to select:
xPartToRender: 3
yPartToRender: 5
which renders the 3rd column and the 5th row of the grid. You should 
also have these options availible from the command line:
blender -b -section 3 5 bigHugeBlend.blend
which would be really useful for network render operations

Actually, xparts and yparts is already used, you could name them 
sections or something?

So about terseness, am really annoyed that I had to tyopr this again
