No, it's not.
Queue slots are here to keep results in case of a server can't accept them and until it's back to accept. It's automatic, and definitely not designed to queue work.

Re: queue slots
There once was a project called GAH which partnered with FAH. The WUs didn't have deadlines and they didn't have to be returned promptly like FAH. It was able to download multiple WUs and use the slots for something other than managing results which have been completed but which cannot currently be uploaded.
They were still managed entirely by the software.
FAH will never support such a feature. Remember that the time to complete a WU is measured from the moment you download it until the moment it is uploaded. Doing anything that extends that time is contrary to the goals of FAH, so downloading multiple WUs manually makes no sense.
