Alternates soln's to file size limit

Hello, I would like to run a job that produces very large tape files,
usually I just increase the number of processes so the data is spread
among more tape files (not necessarily processors, just processes).
Unfortunately, as we have a license for 8 processors, I can not run a job
broken into more than 8 processes.

Does anyone know a way I could, say, run a calculations as 10 processes on
5 cpus?
(I can run 8 processes on 4 cpus but If I try 10 on 5 cpus, I get a
license invalid error)

Thanks for any suggestions,
