This is like the disk graphs that get split up onto multiple graphs 
of 5 filesystems each.

Yes, you can do that. First, you must tell the hobbitsvc.cgi tool which
displays the status page that the if_load graph should split into 
multiple graphs like the disk graph. So edit your etc/hobbitcgi.cfg
file: In the CGI_SVC_OPTS setting, add "--multi-graphs=disk,inode,qtree,if_load"

By default, it shows max. 5 per graph. You want max 2. So in
hobbitserver.cfg, make sure the GRAPHS setting contains "if_load::2"

That should do it. And no, it's not something I've done a lot of 
testing of :-) So let me know if it works.
