You could also look for the first matching file and extract that. That way you can at least implement something similar to what standard tar can do:

[fog;/tmp]-10> tar tf x.tar 
docs/
docs/index.rst
docs/glossary.rst
docs/Makefile
docs/conf.py
docs/changes.rst
[fog;/tmp]-12> cat x.tar| tar xf - docs/index.rst
[fog;/tmp]-13> ls docs 
index.rst
