Delayed notifications are queued in the order received. One possible gotcha 
here is that duplicate notifications are quashed, so if you send 
notifications A, B, C, A, you end up with just A, B, C, and the last one is 
ignored.

Depending on your constraints, you may be best off creating an LWRP for your 
group of resources and notifying it.
