Has any coin tried doing some kind of torrent like distribution where nodes hold redundant pieces of the blockchain but not necessarily the whole chain?

Isn't this in part the thinking behind SegWit?

No, not at all.  Segwit just cuts the block into different parts but all full nodes still hold the entire blockchain.
