Instead of manually specify -n that is a multiple of m which could
overflow, maybe xargs should have an additional argument to allow -n
be the maximum allowable multiple of m?

No. I have a program that expects m*n arguments instead of just m (n
is an interger). Using `xargs -n m` would make calling the program too
many times.
