sorry, I can only offer one idea for the disk storage &
for the unload.
If you have a laptop with sufficient disk, or anytype
of PeeCee with enuff disk, then put a Linux distro
onto it, start the nfsd and export the disks

On HPUX it was possible to run a nfs client when I last
saw this OS (somewhen in 1994)

nfs_mount the laptop or PeeCee disk and you have some
disk space for an unload like so:

---- untested ------
mkfifo mypipe; ## only once, out side any loop
gzip -fc <mypipe >$TABLE_file_on_nfsmount.gz &
UNLOAD TO "MYPIPE"
SELECT ......FROM $TABLE ;
--------------------

If you create a file of the table names to unload
& if you put a shell-forloop around, set TABLE
iterator variable you have 'poor man's unload'

Here is an example you can run using bash

for TABLE in $( cat file_containing_tablenames ); do
unload_script.sh $TABLE
done

I have no idea, how to solve the other problem, sorry
