It should be. The only disadvantage of building a large number of
ports is that the buildbot cannot build "the very latest" commits for
a while (until that job is finished). 200 shouldn't be a problem at
all as long as you are not building llvm/clang 200 times (I don't know
how many characters you can enter in the web form :).

We currently have "success cache" and "fail cache" implemented (which
is not ideal, on 10.5 it can still take 45 minutes just to calculate
that it cannot build the port as one of the dependencies failed
earlier, without even starting to build anything at all).

You should try to limit the build to 10.12 (or whatever other slaves
are missing the ports).

(I was often manually triggering builds as soon I discovered that a
particular port would start building from source and would take more
than about a minute to build and that the package exists for other OS
versions.)
