In my understanding, invocations of lilypond-book for different
languages share compiled snippets. By splitting into multiple jobs,
you'd compile them repeatedly, probably at least offsetting the gain
from parallelism.
For other split points (like all translated LM, NR, etc.) I see the
problem that the final part of 'make doc' needs all of them available.
Last time I checked, these were multiple GBs which we probably don't
want to transfer between the builders.
