p7zip can't unrar multiple rar archive?

Hi,
I installed p7zip but it superseed unrar in file-roller and other apps using unrar. It would be ok if 7zip didn't block with multiple rar archives file.
It only unrar the first, then leaves the rest alone. Anyone ever succeeded to unrar a mulipart archive with it?
Thanks

Nope, still have to use unrar.

Use atool with -e, e.g. atool -x -F 7z -e *.rar

Thanks for your responses.
The thing is I mostly use the contextual menu with file-roller, "extract here" or "extract to".
Is there a way to tell file-roller to use unrar in place of p7zip for rar archive?
atool might be good alternative for 7zip archive but I need p7zip as dependency for another app.
