Amanda can't span tapes with a single DLE. If you want to use more than
one tape per amdump, you'll need to define a changer. With your setup,
you can use chg-manual, and amdump will prompt you for a new tape. You
must also set runtapes > 1.

I don't understand what you mean by override. If you have multiple
entries for a single DLE on one tape (I think that's what your example is
trying to say), then that must be the result of an amflush.
