Depending on your network and the amount of packages installed,
5-20 at a time, or things might slow down. But then it is
impossible to tell without any information about your LAN and the
way (timing) you start the installation on the systems.

If they have all identical hw, you could clone them, using
netcat/dd, you need to change hostname/IP and probably delete the
ssh host keys, new ones will be generated on sshd startup.
