I'd do them all at once. After you get them all boiled of course. Use a
big bowl for the yolks and perhaps a potato masher to start with. You might
then move on to an electric mixer after you get them initially mashed.

Lenthwise.

You might try several large lidded plastic containers or foil pans with a
bed of lettuce leaves or bunches of parsley in between to keep them from
rolling around.
