There's no feature like that built into JtR. With a wordlist, it's
easiest and most reliable for you to create and use a partial wordlist
that only contains the portion left to search. In a Unix shell, you can
do that with the "tail" command. It can be something like this:
$ wc -l rockyou.txt
14344391 rockyou.txt
$ echo 14344391*73/100 | bc
10471405
$ tail -n +10471405 rockyou.txt > 73percent-into-rockyou.txt
$ wc -l 73percent-into-rockyou.txt
3872987 73percent-into-rockyou.txt
Alternatively:
$ echo 14344391*(100-73)/100 | bc
3872985
$ tail -n -3872985 rockyou.txt > 73percent-into-rockyou.txt
$ wc -l 73percent-into-rockyou.txt
3872985 73percent-into-rockyou.txt
Alternatively to "bc", you can use the shell itself to do the
calculations, but I guess with larger wordlists this could result in
integer overflows on some systems (giving incorrect results):
$ echo $[14344391*73/100]
10471405
$ echo $[14344391*(100-73)/100]
3872985
(These are correct here, as you can see.)
