Well, there is 3D raster library which has tiling. Formerly called G3d
(Grid 3D?, I suppose), committed on December 29, 1999 in r9499:

https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/lib/g3d?rev=9499

There might be some scientific paper referring to it but I didn't find it.
Here is the current library doc:
