Ahh I should have read more carefully - thanks - all is well.

Can't you do that by setting the "allocation_rule"??
If the special
denominator $pe_slots is used, the full range of
processes as specified with the qsub(1) -pe switch
has to be allocated on a single host (no matter
which value belonging to the range is finally
chosen for the job to be allocated).
See sge_pe(5):
http://gridscheduler.sourceforge.net/htmlman/htmlman5/sge_pe.html
ii) is there a way of doing this using some clever job script flag?
iii) can the queue system be made to accumulate 1-slot jobs in as
few nodes as possible to avoid the above problem?
See "N1GE 6 - Scheduler Hacks: "least used" / "fill up" configuration":

BTW, if you have shared memory jobs (OpenMP, Intel TBB, etc), don't
use a PE designed for MPI. Add a new PE for each type of parallel job.
