I am not a pro at this (never used this method) but according to grub 
documentation:

How to specify block lists

A block list is used for specifying a file that doesn't appear in the 
filesystem, like a chainloader. The syntax is 
[offset]+length[,[offset]+length].... Here is an example:

0+100,200+1,300+300

This represents that GRUB should read blocks 0 through 99, block 200, and 
blocks 300 through 599. If you omit an offset, then GRUB assumes the offset is 
zero.

so would it be something like this ?

kernel (hd0,0)66038+12,66051+267

just a guess..
