I don't believe there is anything you can do with the batch options for this. If you added a --write-batch to each of those you would get 3 batch files that wouldn't be read without a --read-batch. If you also did a --read-batch that would contain differences between a backup and the backup before it so rsync would still have to read the backup before it to understand the batch (and this would continue on to the oldest backup making the problem worse).
Anyway, what you were asking for sounds a lot like rdiff-backup. I didn't like it myself but maybe you would. BTW, my experience with many millions of files vs rsync --link-dest is that running the backup isn't a problem. The problem came when it was time to delete the oldest backup. An rm -rf took a lot longer than an rsync. If you haven't gotten there yet maybe you should try one and see if it is going to be as big a problem as I had.
