You can't without writing custom code -- for instance, adding an option
to rsync to tell it to treat a block device as a file (which would also
require the use of --inplace).  Otherwise you might look for some other
utility that could patch a single file (I almost suggested trying to use
the rdiff utility in librsync, but it can't update a file in-place).
