Honestly I'd be very surprised if this worked - the P2M backend
functions generally accept only orders matching up with what the
hardware supports. I.e. I specifically didn't suggest to remove the
loop altogether.

Not at the point you build the domain, but such a use can't and
shouldn't be precluded ones the domain is up.
