Yes.  If runtapes is > 1, Amanda will move onto the next tape if a DLE
won't fit in the remaining space.  What it won't do is put part of that
DLE on one tape and part on another.  If Amanda hits EOT with runtapes > 1,
she'll switch tapes and restart taping that DLE from block 0.

Amanda never tapes two DLEs in parallel.  Parallel dumps go to the holding
disk and when the dumps are finished they are put on tape in a serial
fashion.  If a DLE won't fit in the holding disk, it will be dumped
directly to tape.
