>From my PoV, you are welcome to do them in parts.  But there are two
caveats:

 * As I recall, all translations go in one file, so the next report
   still need to include all the translations of the previous one.
 * A release build of Lintian will discard any translation units with
   less 80% completion.  I cannot remember if this is per ".desc" file
   or per "language".  But if it is the latter, the translation will not
   be used until you are nearly done.

But as said, from my PoV whichever way you prefer is fine. :)
