Description

Since #1660 is implementing a copy and replace strategy to avoid corrupted hdf files, it would be useful if preprocessing could add multiple datasets/groups from different bands and wafers at one time to reduce the number of copies.

Research direction

No files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reading #1660 and locating the preprocessing entry points that write HDF files; determine how writes for different bands and wafers are currently issued. Done means preprocessing can add multiple datasets or groups in one operation while avoiding unnecessary copy-and-replace cycles.
