There seems a difference between the two first-half-only images for 1.3.6 at about an hour and at the end. Are there supposed to be long silences either side of the hour mark?
Did you press OK when you saw “Faulty Sequence Tags” in 2.0.0? If so, it’s odd the log has no more details.
You can make a smaller .aup file referencing fewer block files yourself if you wish, but I’m not convinced it will help because I don’t know why it is not responding. If you look near the top of the original .aup you will see:
<sequence maxsamples="262144" sampleformat="262145" numsamples="2147483648">
What you have to do is make the numsamples in that line match with the total number of samples in however many waveblocks you have listed underneath. Each waveblock is 262144 samples, so if you have included ten waveblocks, “numsamples” in the line above has to be “2621440”.
So at the top of your shortened .aup you want:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE project PUBLIC "-//audacityproject-1.3.0//DTD//EN" "http://audacityteam.org/xml/audacityproject-1.3.0.dtd" >
<project xmlns="http://audacityteam.org/xml/" projname="Temporality_05-26-12_data" version="1.3.0" audacityversion="1.3.6" sel0="0.0000000000" sel1="0.0000000000" vpos="240" h="0.0000000000" zoom="0.1788139343" rate="44100">
<tags>
<tag name="id3v2" value="1"/>
</tags>
<wavetrack name="Audio Track" channel="2" linked="0" offset="0.00000000" rate="44100" gain="1" pan="0">
<waveclip offset="0.00000000">
<sequence maxsamples="262144" sampleformat="262145" numsamples="2147483648">
(with “numsamples” in the last line of the above changed to show the total number of samples in the waveblocks).
Then you want series of waveblocks like this as copied from the project:
<waveblock start="0">
<simpleblockfile filename="e00008c1.au" len="262144" min="-0.004022" max="0.36529" rms="0.002519"/>
</waveblock>
then finally after the final you want the following to end the .aup file:
</sequence>
<envelope numpoints="0"/>
</waveclip>
</wavetrack>
</project>
Of course you can just find and drag the .au files from the _data folder (in the order they are listed in the project file) into a new project, but that will take a pretty while because each .au file imports to a new track. The difficulty with automating any such piecing together is that the .au file names as stored in the .aup are random. You would need to try time sorting then renaming the .au files using the 1.2 recovery tools I already mentioned ( http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Crash_Recovery#Automatic_recovery_tools ).
I also looked at Steve’s Append Import plug-in ( https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/append-import/20421/1). You might be able to use it if you edited the .aup down to just the “simpleblockfile filenames” listed in the .aup and then gave that list of names to Append Import as a “filelist.txt” file. See https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/append-import/20421/10 for instructions. This has the benefit that the files “would” then be imported end-to-end in the correct order, which they may not be using 1.2 Recovery tools.
