Our HSM guru cites this:

"Found this in the HSM Admin for Z/OS 1.11 -

An exception to the order of processing is when doing recalls from tape, where 
DFSMShsm reduces the number of mounts by doing several recalls from a given 
tape while the tape is continuously mounted. If a recall task has just 
completed a recall from a tape, it processes the highest-priority request that 
is currently on the queue for that same tape, no matter where the request is 
positioned on the queue.
DFSMShsm continues to process only recalls from this single tape for a duration 
of time that is specified by the TAPERECALLLIMITS parameter. After the time 
specified by the TAPERECALLLIMITS parameter is reached, DFSMShsm determines 
whether a higher-priority recall request that needs this tape exists on another 
DFSMShsm host. If so, it ends the recall processing on the tape by the current 
DFSMShsm host, freeing the tape for use by other hosts. If no higher-priority 
request exists, DFSMShsm continues to process any recalls requested from the 
tape. DFSMShsm checks after every recall for a higher-priority recall request 
from other hosts."
