Do I understand you correctly that you don't really know in advance how many files will be generated, i.e. the -j parameter just specifies a maximum? Then you either need to find a way to find out the value beforehand (by analyzing the input in some way), or, if that is not possible, you cheat and call the tool already in the outputArtifactsScript; the prepare script then just sets up a dummy command. Note that this loses concurrency, as rule execution happens in the main thread. But this might be acceptable for short-running tools.
