No.

Once data transfer for a command starts, it has to be completed before you
can switch to another command.  i.e. ATA has no concept similar to the DATA
POINTER found in SCSI to preserve your location in the data stream when you
switch command context.

For Queue Commands, can the drive do data
transfer as follows?

cmd1 w/ release
cmd2 w/ release
service to resume cmd1
data1_a
cmd3 w/o release
data3
service to resume cmd1
data1_b
    :
data1_c
    :

where cmd1's data (data1) has been split into
data1_a, data1_b, and data1_c.

Thank you,
Kanting Tsai
