SABnzbd Version: 0.6.5 running on window 7
SABnzbd joined a post which was not split, but simply 7zipped with file name like file.7z.001

This rendered the download useless.

The naming pattern resembles that of joinable files.
Since we don't support 7zip, it's not possible to tell the difference.

Would it be possible to do a simple string search of the file name to detect if '.7z.' exists in the last 10 or so characters and simply ignore it when it comes to post processing?

Wouldn't help, because some posts actually do need joining.
This poster did not follow conventions, which makes it hard/impossible to do the right thing.
BTW: it is possible to disable joining altogether (Config->Switches).
