I don't think there are alternatives.
The Unreal files are a job for Gildor's UEViewer.
In this case offzip did the job and offzip can do also the reimporting work but, as you have noticed, it's limited by the size of the edited files.

maybe you can rebuild the EXAMPLEGAME_LOC_INT.XXX?? it's only 6 file and the header is small with the size of the compressed data of the 6 files, won't hurt to try hehe

@Sajjad_Rahim
Obviously I was referring to existent and ready-to-use solutions :)
