The short and sweet answer is that no this is not currently supported. We favored the EC2 functionality because it can expand indefinitely and everyone has access to it (while not everyone has access to several machines on their local network). It is possible to take a PAT project, move it to other machines, then delete design alternatives. That way you could run a subset of jobs on each machine. However, you'd have to do this manually and there is not any way currently to stitch those back together into a single result set. The good news is that PAT is due for a refresh to better align the local version with the large scale analysis capabilities. I'd suggest adding feature requests on user voice, we'll take those into account when designing the next version.
