loop knows about an offset:
First find where your partitions are:
% sfdisk -l -uS hdc_img
Warning: hdc_img is not a block device
Disk hdc_img: cannot get size
Disk hdc_img: cannot get geometry
Disk hdc_img: 0 cylinders, 0 heads, 0 sectors/track
Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0
Device Boot Start End #sectors Id System
hdc_img1 63 112454 112392 83 Linux
hdc_img2 112455 401624 289170 82 Linux swap
hdc_img3 401625 33736499 33334875 5 Extended
...
OK, let us mount this first one, at an offset of 63 sectors.
% bc
63*512
32256
# mount hdc_img /mnt -o loop,offset=32256
