Easiest way (before knowing what you mean with "last job") might be defining 
for how long time Bacula may use the same tape, starting from first write 
(after recycling). For example, if your jobs (from "first" to "last") take a 
maximum of 3 hours, you could set max volume use duration (check the correct 
syntax from manual) to, say, 6 to 12 hours. While this time has expired 
(next day?), Bacula will take another tape from the library.
