Something else.  It is calculated by comparing the scaled I's from the current 
batch to
symmetry equivalents of those same Bragg reflections in all other batches being 
scaled.

You can't do this kind of scaling until you have all the frames (batches).

If you have only one measurement of each hkl you're going to have a hard
time calculating merging R factors :-)

If your detector is centered on the beam (2theta = 0) then 180 degrees
will get you 2 measurements of each reflection.   That's disregarding
breakage of Friedel's Law by anomalous scattering and also the possible
unusability of reflections near the rotation axis.
