I have a wikipedia dump file of around 15GB which extension is .tar.7z. In it has another .tar file. The main content has in .tar file.

How to get the original size of all files those have in the tar file?

.tar in .tar.7z? That's strange. If it was just two levels (.7z and .tar) you could do:

tar tvf foo.tar.7z

For example,

$ tar tvf certbot.tar.xz

As you can see, the file sizes are listed in the third column.
