That depends, can you run your dump file through grep, e.g.

fgrep "Revision-number: " mydumpfile.svndump

if you see two Revision-number: nnn lines for every revision nnn then you
are fecked... you must have ran two dumps in parallel and they both were
appending to the same file at the same time.

if you only see one Revision-number: nnn for each revision, then you should
be able to skip the first few bytes until you reach the second header.
