Red Dead Redemption 2 PEDS_10 and rdr3.resident.rpf corrupted files and mismatch
but... depending on how much effort you want to spend fixing it I might be able to fix your current corrupt files, especially if the corrupt files are only mildly corrupt I could create a '.par2' file from mine (assuming you are on build 1436.28), then you would use MultiPar (i.e. https://github.com/Yutaka-Sawada/MultiPar/releases ) to scan your files and it will tell me how many blocks you need to fix it and then I could create recovery data with MultiPar. doing this might dramatically lower the amount of data I would have to upload as then you could use MultiPar which will fix your current corrupt files so they match mine identically.

unRAID Under the premise of Parity Disk, how to specify to rebuild the specified directory or file?
To detect bitrot I use dynamix file integrity plugin, it compute Blake3 hash for each file, it is stored as extend attribute. You Can choose which share will be covered. For correction i then use par2 files using multipar https://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA021385/ https://github.com/Yutaka-Sawada/MultiPar (Windows only, par2cmdline for Linux. You could compile from source and add it to unraid if you want, i've done it for testing purpose)

How to ensure file integrity?
And last but not less important - make regular parity files of your healthy important data, and store them somewhere. MultiPar is your best friend. Even if your data gets corrupt, with parity files you can restore it to it's former glory. Some limitations will apply, read the manual.

Is there a way to quickly create PAR2 files from the Windows context menu?
This is possible with MultiPar https://github.com/Yutaka-Sawada/MultiPar

I need to store a 1MB file for 20 years, would making thousands of copies on a 4.7gb DVD be enough?
More sanely, perhaps, get some M-Disc DVDs (if you can find real ones - apparently they're becoming just normal DVDs) and put one file on each, and then run https://github.com/Yutaka-Sawada/MultiPar on it to create parity files. Then store the file, the parity files, and the software you need (MultiPar) on the disc. To be safe, you probably also need to store the DVD burner you used to make it, as those are getting thin on the ground these days.

Note about par2: if one is using a windows system with a nvidia GPU this version of par2 is faster as it speaks CUDA.

Analysing the Effectiveness of WinRAR's RAR5 Recovery Records
QuickPar is ancient at this stage, however the PAR2 format hasn't changed since, so the concepts are still the same. For a more modern client, I generally recommend MultiPar. I've also written a PAR2 client, ParPar (CLI, or experimental GUI frontend), but it only supports creating PAR2s, not verify/repair.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing MultiPar and ParParGUI you can also consider the following projects:
Nyuu - Flexible usenet binary posting tool
dar-backup - Drive the fabulous Disk Archiver for full, differential or incremental backups with error correction + restore test.
dvdisaster - A tool providing additional ECC protection for optical media (unofficial version)
automedia - A set of tools for automatically managing bitrot and format in large quantities of media
HBBatchBeast - A free GUI application for HandBrake and FFmpeg/FFprobe with an emphasis on batch conversion (including recursive folder scans and folder watching) -Windows, macOS, Linux & Docker
