If you want both jobs to use the same tape (having the second job to append to the same tape that the first job used), you may want to have the jobs start at slightly different times (such as a 5 minute delay). Sometimes when two jobs start at the same time, the second job will fail to find appendable media and will switch to overwrite mode, which mean the two jobs are on different tapes.
If you don't mind the two jobs using two different tapes, then there is absolutely no problem with having them start at the same time and just letting one job sit queued until the drive becomes available.
