Yes, I see - I misused the term job.

No, it's my fault for not reading more carefully. We do use a
somewhat overloaded and specialized lexicon to describe Spark, which
helps when it is used uniformly, but penalizes those who leap to
misunderstanding. Prashant is correct that the largest granularity
thing that a user launches to do Spark work and that is associated
with its own SparkContext is what we call an application. A job is
what is launched by invoking a Spark action on an RDD. There can be
multiple jobs within an application, and those jobs are scheduled
either FIFO or with the fair scheduler. Going to to even smaller
granularities, jobs can contain multiple stages (defined or broken up
at shuffle boundaries), and stages are associated with task sets
containing multiple tasks, the units of work that actually run on
worker nodes.
Anyway, Prashant's response about spreadOut is appropriate for
application-level scheduling.

My bad - I should have stated that up front. I guess it was kind
of implicit within my question.
Thanks for your help,

I think that is Scheduling Within an Application, and he asked
across apps. Actually spark standalone supports two ways of
scheduling both are FIFO type.

One is spread out mode and the other is use as fewer node as
possible [1]
