• .r01, r02, r03 .... etc. for any additional volumes

Or:

• .rar or exe (SFX) for first volume
• .001, .002, .003 .... etc. for any additional volumes

The newer versions of WinRAR are using:

• .rar or exe (SFX) .... etc. for first volume
• .part1.rar, .part2.rar, part3.rar for any additional volumes
