If you wanted to coordinate a batch, then yes, you would submit all jobs 
with the same time-to-send "sendfax -a".

As far as this being it's only "usefulness", I don't think that's the case.

The original intent behind batching was to help ease the burden of 
getting jobs through to busy receivers.

So let's say that I regularly (every 30 minutes or so) send faxes to a 
desination where the destination is frequently busy.  Let's say that no 
faxes get through for over an hour.  So now I've got two or three jobs 
sitting in the queue.  When a call finally gets through to the 
destination I want to capitalize on the opportunity and have all of 
those jobs that are in the queue to that destination go through at 
once.  If I hang up and call back for the next job chances are that 
someone else's call will beat me to it by the time my next job stops 
sleeping.

Batching is going to be quicker and thus save on toll costs... so that's 
another use.

Batching helps get jobs to busy desinations, thus slowing down the 
processing of the queue, out of the way... thus getting the other jobs 
to their final resting places sooner, too.

Lee.
