Yes. The hard part is getting it configured in ALL the needed places. 
anything up to four places in a couple of file (dir & Sd) and in the 
client) as well.

The line is
maximum concurrent jobs = N       where N= number you want.

Note, there are some default settings in SD & FD that allow for ten(?) 
and only require a DIR change to work.

Caution; do not run any other job at the same time as catalog dumps 
(full catalog)

AFAIUI, if the jobs is smaller than the spool size, then the jobs will 
not be interleaved. If the job is larger than the spool size, then 
segments will be interleaved with other running jobs.
