You can use a combiner in place of the second processor and set it to 'Batch'. You then need a second connection from the processor to the combiner. The quantity in the components list is the quantity of items that are batched in addition to the first.

Or you could place a queue in between the two processors that is set to batch items.

You can use the trigger functions to stop the processor after the first item enters. As soon as the next is ready on Processor1, it gets resumed.
