:redir redirects the output of Vim commands, not shell commands.

If I were doing this, I would do something like this:
:'<,'>w !ext-prog > /tmp/mytmpfile
:new
:r /tmp/mytmpfile
:!rm /tmp/mytmpfile
or
:'<,'>w !ext-prog > /tmp/mytmpfile
:split /tmp/mytmpfile
I'll leave the generation of the temporary file name to you. Some
people are really paranoid about it. If you're going to have more
than one such temporary file open at a time, use tempname().
