How can I delete data from in a hexdump file from one offset to another?

Question

I've created a disk image which was zeroed, formatted to ext4 file system, and then had several various files copied to it.

I'm trying to extract these files using a combination of xxd and dd, but with certain files I find their size has increased and cannot be properly interpreted by their default viewer/player.

The reason behind this is because the file system is inserting several almost identical chunks of what I guess is some form of metadata periodically on the image. The data starts off as, or pretty similar to the hex code below, followed by what seems to be a random assortment of characters. Each of these chunks is exactly 8MBs (8388608 bytes) in length and appears 8 times on this 300MB image.

Is there a command or tool available to allow me to simply ignore these chunks of metadata or allow me to remove them from the file? I've already attempted to extract the non metadata chunks of information out and cat them back together but this seems to waste time as well as causing some of the files to carved incorrectly even if they were carvable beforehand. The code for that looks like this;

inputFile="zeroedImage.ext4
signature="70 2c 01 00 00 b0 04 00"
counter=0
occurance=`xxd -g 1 $inputFile | grep -c "$signature"`
startPosition[0]=0

while [[ $counter < $occurance ]]
do
    signatureLocation=`xxd -g 1 -s +${startPosition[$counter]} $inputFile | grep -m 1 "$signature"`
    signatureLocationShort=${signatureLocation%$signature*}
    signatureByteSpaces=`echo $signatureLocationShort | awk -F " " "{print NF}"`
    signatureHexOffset=`echo $signatureLocationShort | cut -f 1 -d ":" | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]`
    signatureDecOffset=`echo "ibase=16;$signatureHexOffset" | bc`


    endPosition[$counter]=$(($signatureDecOffset-1))

    if [[ ${startPosition[$counter]} -gt ${endPosition[$counter]} ]]
    then
        echo "No space between chunks"
    else
        difference=$((${endPosition[$counter]}-${startPosition[$counter]}+1))
        xxd -g 1 -s +${startPosition[$counter]} -l $difference $inputFile > $counter.temp
        cat *.temp > all.temp

    fi

    counter=$(($counter+1))
    startPosition[$counter]=`expr $((${endPosition[$((counter-1))]}+8388609))`
done

xxd -r all.temp > adjustedImage.zeroed
rm *.temp
exit 0

Thank you.
