Cold backup strategy for storing into lots of cheap drives? (zerobytes.monster)

I can buy cheap 1TB laptop drives for ~$10 each which I think is pretty good for an offline backup, but the thing is that my main ZFS pool is 20TB with various dataset size and snapshots, and I don't want to buy 20 SATA dock/card to use all of the available drives at once.

Is there any way to achieve something like... I plug each drive in which will hold a fragment of the total data to backup/restore? Like back in the old days with multiple DVDs that you need to split into .001 .002... And then merging them together? This is for backup so I don't mind spending time pluging in/out the drives but I do like the idea of having cheap cold storage.
