Yes but the final image _is_ available in non compressed form, use
a written CF unit as master.

Now my major sticking point is to find some way of identifying the CF
slots; they're usb devices and the device nodes change every time
they're initialized.

If those USB channels are not independent, you may not see much
of a win in running things in parallel, USB is serial comms, you're
hoping to fill one CF's busy time writing to others over serial
communications?
