Thanks @ihincks, this is really helpful.

Quick question - there is no way to "front load" a shot loop with chunk_size, right? For example, if I have a program with two items: item A has 50 configurations, and item B has 30 configurations. I cannot force all 50 circuits from item A to run in one shot loop, and those from item B to run in a separate shot loop. I'd have to submit 2 different QuantumPrograms to do that?
