Sure. Just read the data as it comes in from the database and fill up a 
chunk, then hand that on to a process. You can also distribute it in 
smaller packets, just check what size gives the best throughput.

Still, I'd give each work parcel a number and then reorder the results 
while collecting them, that allows you to vary the chunk size and the 
process size independently, without having to wait for a process that 
happens to take longer.
