Sorry, no, there is no existing mechanism for round-robin tape usage.
You'd have to do it by hand if you wanted to do it. I cannot recommend
it, though; due to the necessity for rewinding and positioning, it would
increase wear both on your tapes and on your drive, making a failure
more probable overall.
