Hmm. I would not fully extract the tar file, but uncompress it and recompress it. There is no need to explode the tar archive into individual files.

unxr file.txz
bzip2 < file.tar > my_files.tbz

Should manage the basic functionality. 

for file in **/.txz; do unxr $file; bzip2< $(name%.tar}.tbz; done

Or something like that (assuming your shell is bash, or I think this is also valid in zsh). Not tested, but that's going to get you 95% of the way there if it's not quite right.

You can leave off the name substitution if you're ok with the result being named file.tar.bz2 instead of file.tbz.
