I'm occasionally downloading a very large file via scp and there's a small chance each time of the connection dropping and cutting the transfer mid-way.
Is there a way to resume it?

You can try the following approch: instead of scp use dd to skip over the downloaded part and append the remainder to the file.
Possible optimization: work with big blocks. Let's leave this as a homework.
