The problem is, you must form a link with each sample (or use a
spotter), and do a sending test for each sample. That done, you might
be able to catch the ones those stages work on with one AE spell, or
just a split spellcasting.

I don't think you can, normally.
Doing so would be a totally non-standard varieation on ritual magic,
but not one that is out of line, considering "split spellcasting".
Throwing only 1 die at each sample for thenon-spellcastingstages of
ritual sorcery would miss a lot of links and sendings, but would allow a
large number of samples, enough to make it worth while, especially if
the ritual leader could re-roll those tests with karma. The ritul team
would likely be so big it would just be easier to have each mage work
alone, though.
