fragmentary and fragmented

My comment:

Nothing wrong with a literal translation. And besides, it has a pleasant ring to it with the alliteration and hint of repetition of the concept "fragment". By the way, if the earlier translation is preferred, the spelling is PIECEmeal. and it really means "bit by bit".

For piecemeal, please see Concise Oxford Dictionary.
