It doesn't in practice delay things much even with a fairly large group resigning at once -- in 1985 15 Ulster Unionist MPs resigned on the same day, and this was done by cycling between the two offices and spreading the appointments out through the day. So it's silly, but not actually a problem, which is why nobody's bothered to try to tidy it up.
