I'm using the XSendFile module too (I stripped that out of my example for
brevity but maybe that was a poor idea).  That's why I was relying on
max_ranges, but I guess I could just check for a range request and return a
416 through the PHP script if one's requested?  I'll have to test to see if
that works, but if it doesn't I'll just duplicate the existing location
block and make it specific to free.php, and add that setting.

Thanks!
