Likewise, if it is set of related data sets, eventually you may want to copy back from the tape and if they are all together, it would really simplify the task.

Some shops run batch jobs to redistribute tape data sets to free up unused tape, and as a result, your data sets may end up on different volumes anyway. You might want to check with the tape storage folks to see what they do.
