Please answer below and not top-post then it is easier to follow the discussion.

linelen-<hostname> is something with the maximum length of the command-line on the remote-hosts.

These files should be small so it should be ok if they are located on a network share.

Are you using -X or -m ?

From the excellent man-page that comes with GNU Parallel under

"OPTIONS" it says:

       --tmpdir dirname

                Directory for temporary files. GNU parallel normally buffers output into temporary files in /tmp. By setting --tmpdir you can use a different dir for the files. Setting --tmpdir is equivalent to setting $TMPDIR.

and further down under "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" it says:

       $TMPDIR  Directory for temporary files. See: --tmpdir.
