Another approach could be to simply append samples in one big table and 
save the indexes. (but this depends a lot on how many chopped samples 
and how long they are)

I've used a similar approach for a piece where I wanted to trigger 
certain samples: in that case the 'chunks' were small files already 
existed on disk, but I wouldn't have known how many files I would have 
finally, so using a fixed number of tables wouldn't have worked.
I can point you to the piece and share the patches if you are interested.

Kind regards,
Lorenzo.
