I've always found it disappointing that xargs behaves like this on many GNU/Linux distributions. I always thought xargs's main purpose in life was to know how many arguments can safely be passed to a process... Anyway, you should be able to limit the number of arguments per invocation by adding something like "-n 100" to the xargs command line.
