Just take a backup of the file away from where you have it now and try the cpio command as you have typed it here. I have not used the command for a long time as most things are in TAR format. However I thought the syntax for the command was:
However I might be wrong!

rpm2cpio
rpm2cpio(1) User Commands rpm2cpio(1)NAME
rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive
SYNOPSIS
rpm2cpio [file.rpm]
DESCRIPTION
The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu-
ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard out-
put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Converting an rpm file
example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
