You were right. No way to get the Windows bootloader to even try
starting up Windows unless the windows partition is exactly at the
safe offset from as it is in the original drive.
I had a feeling it might; I think there's another copy of the partition
description inside the partition somewhere, at least involved in the
boot process. Not sure though. You may also have problems if you don't
have the right drivers to match the virtual environment in your Windows
startup.
Anyway, you could still have a go at concatenating two partitions with
dmsetup.
Cheers,
John.
