That's fine. You're free to work on this. :-)

Well, since there are multiple salts, you may split your input password
files across nodes "by salt". That is, make sure that all hashes with a
given salt go onto the same node.
A more generic approach is to split the candidate password space,
though, which can be done in one of many different ways.

I wouldn't say it is "the way" - it is just one of many ways, and it is
specific to this mode. The choice is really up to you, especially given
that you're doing this for fun (in my understanding), and you don't have
to do it optimally.
