Do you think I have to split as much as possible the big diskset into multiple little diskset for amanda to be able to restore as fast as possible without having to scan a complete librairy ?

Yes -- it does exactly that.  There's talk of how to fix that using
the Application API, but it's still a long way off.  Beyond the sheer
volume of work to implement it, I think the major challenge will be
handling and storing the metadata describing the location of a
particular tar file without using so much overhead as to render it
unusable.
