This possibility (to split a phonon run over q-points and also over the irreps) has been 
added recently by Di Meo, Giannozzi, and Dal Corso. See here:

Probably you need to download the CVS version to have this functionality in full and to 
see the example in examples/GRID_example/ under the espresso source tree.
