no: xargs(1)
--max-args=max-args, -n max-args
Use at most max-args arguments per command line.
Fewer than max-args arguments will be used if the
size (see the -s option) is exceeded, unless the -x
option is given, in which case xargs will exit.
but anyway, it would not work for the same reason as the read didn't
work - which i haven't really found yet.
