The link you provided contains the answer to your question. You need to use the 7-Zip application to decompress the dump file. After that, I'm guessing you have an intranet ready copy of the wiki content.

I am not sure what you will get as the output of the decompressed files. I haven't had a need to try downloading Wikipedia before so you are in uncharted territory for me. I wonder if you need to install your own local MediaWiki setup and use the files as an import to get your own local copy of Wikipedia.

the creator of the file split a really big file, into a bunch of small files,
you should download 7 zip, and the select all of them and decompress them at the same time, and you will get one big file
