AFAIK it will hit end of tape and ask for another tape. However,
there is no way to flush a single dump image to multiple tapes. So
if you have a 20 GB dump image (even if it's been split up into
pieces due to the chunksize parameter) and a 10 GB tape, there is no
way to put the dump image on that tape.

See "man amanda", look for "runtapes". Tells you the maximum number
of tapes you can write to if you have a tape changer configured.
