My final choice in the translation was "aliquot sample". I have awarded the points to "aliquot" based on chronological precedence (5 minutes as opposed to 34 minutes for "sample"). Thanks to everyone who suggested answers! I am adding "aliquot sample" in the glossary.

agree  Amilcar: Yes, the better word for "a part of", "chuncks" of the same old "block"; 'fraction' suggests different "components"; 'sample' is what's being broken into "parcels".

Explanation:
"[Parte] alíquota" é um conceito em tempos idos bastante "esotérico" (usado só em anos bissextos) e hoje altamente abusado (mas não neste exemplo). O significado exato é "uma de n partes iguais", num sentido real ou figurado. "Alíquota" por "taxa" é um barbarismo; alíquotas de 10% fazem todo sentido; e falar de alíquotas de 7% não seria de todo errado, se se tratasse de 14 (ou menos) partes de 7%, com um resto de 2% (ou mais) descartado. Usar "alíquota" para sugerir uniformidade das partes é um excelente uso da palavra.

Em en, aproximadamente o mesmo.
