I found threads on several sites that have similar methods. Basically you combine the gz files into one,uncompress and then use partclone to convert to an image. Once converted you can mount the image. You will need enough free space as the windows partition.
You cannot extract files from a Clonezilla image without restoring that image. If you don't have a physical device or partition as large as the original partition, it is possible to use partclone to do the restore to a sparse file. That file would have an apparent size as large as the original partition, but would use only as much actual disk space as the used space in the original filesystem. You can see one method in the above link, or get some more hints from the partclone manpage.
I just tried that, and all you get is the same set of image files that you already have, but packaged into a bootable ISO that runs Clonezilla. You are no closer to extracting files from that image than you were before.
Go ahead and make the ISO file and then look at what is in it. You will find a directory with the same files you now have in d:\Win7-img. How does that get you any closer to extracting files from those saved image files?
So, there's currently no way to extract files from a CZ image?
That is correct. Clonezilla doesn't store files. It just stores regions of the disk that it can determine are in some way in use by the filesystem (vs. regions that are free space in the filesystem).
I think part of your problem is that you have a fat drive and that's why all these small files contain parts of the partclone image. I'd guess that you could copy them binary together and then use some idea like

Better use the partclone utility instead:

Convert Clonezilla partition image into ISO?
