You can more than likely specify the no-rewind tape device, ie. /dev/nrmt0h.
This will allow you to concatenate dumps on a single large tape such as
8mm or 4mm.

Try something like this:

dump 0uf /dev/nmt0h / ; dump 0uf /dev/rmt0h /usr
mt rewind
restore tf /dev/nrmt0h ; mt fsf ; restore tf /dev/rmt0h
