How to bulk update in batches < 1000

[Christopher Gordon]

I have the need to bulk update all issues in a project and the issues are already > 1000 which is the limit, and for this I found documentation. If I do not want to change the default setting.. 

jira.bulk.edit.limit.issue.count

What are my options for batching this? Can I use the auto increment number that is used in the id in a comparator?  Is there some other convenient way to apply a change to all my issues without out changing the default of jira.bulk.edit.limit.issue.count?
