I don't know it is possible to extend existing command to get another argument.
But if it can, it is reasonable.

If it cannot, then we can make another command, say, RANG(or RNGE?)
which takes starting
and ending point.

At least for client, I'd love to implement this extension in aria2;)
I think it is not too late, because there is big difference with or
without standard.
And still FTP is widely used and FTP server code is maintained, so
there is a plenty
of room for this extension.
