Take these instructions with a grain of salt as I have a 7260.

This is what I have done in similar situations:
1. Create a partition in the sdcard with fdisk.
2. Format the partition with mkfs.ext2.
3. Mount the partition somewhere under /mnt.
4 Untar the *.tar file to the mounted partition.

For the creation of partitions I actually create 3 partitions that look 
as follows in fdisk:
>                   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  
> System
> /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part1               1           4        1008   83  
> Linux
> /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part2               5           8        1024   83  
> Linux
> /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part3              20       15704     4015360   83  
> Linux

I format the third partition as such:

mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part3
 
I have a mount point in /mnt that I created with:

mkdir /mnt/sdcard0

I mount the fromated partition as follows:

mount /dev/sdcard0/disc0/part3 /mnt/sdcard0

finally I untar the file with:

tar jxvf <bzip2 file> -C /mnt/sdcard0

I am doing this from memory and I hope I did not miss a step or mistype 
a command.
