I've been looking for something like this for a while. I have tests that require two (or more) slaves to be executed properly. But there doesn't seem to be any plugin that currently does something like that.
We have a workaround, but it's not very robust at all. We have one job that starts two (or more) additional jobs on two slaves. But it fails often when one job starts up and waits for the other side to start, but the other job is queued up for a very long time (due to other jobs running on the slave). This causes the first job to timeout (failing the overall test), and eventually the second job gets out of the queue - runs - and fails because it can't find the first job. Ideally, a plugin like this would hold start the list of jobs, with one targeted for each desired slave, then hold them in the queue until all can be run at the same time. If you find such a plugin, please respond back to the group. I believe that others have been looking for such a plugin too.
