I have a large backup of a disk with multiple TBI files. Is there any way to pull out the data in the files that is there. I am missing the last file in the chain of files.

If you have TBIview installed, double click on the TBI backup file and then double click on the selected partition to retrieve your files.

Do you mean a split backup? One with multiple files due to file size restrictions? For example:
Backup.tbi 500MB
Backup.1 500MB
Backup.2 500MB
Backup.3 500MB
Backup.4 162MB
And then Backup.4 was lost? I don't think there is any good way to recover the data in this case. It may not get you anything, but you might try restoring the image to a spare drive (or virtual disk) and then scanning the disk area with data/file recovery software. It may find something.
If you had a chain of .TBI files (e.g. differentials/incrementals) and the last one was lost the chain would just end at the last remaining file.

Yes i do mean a split backup. Is there any way to pull what data is in the files up to the missing file?

depends, if the part of the drive needed for access the windows files/etc ..
then no, it should open up to the point it needs to get past that file.
