If a source file is considerably larger than 4GB I would suspect that, even with the compression that the back-up software uses, it is entirely possible that any one Paragon file will NOT contain ALL the data from the original source.
As to whether it is necessary to restore a "whole" back-up, I think that will depend upon the type of back-up you created. I'm currently running HDM Advanced 16.5 and have not, so far, needed to use the Restore facility. I previously ran HDM 15 SP5 and that did allow me to restore only named, specific files.
