Sorry for the two-week necro.
All my giveaways have been of GOG games I've purchased at the time of the giveaway, so the large ones especially offered an option that might apply to some gifters. GOG's BizDev (Business Development) will actually split codes for you in certain rare, one-off circumstances. So if you're going to buy 100 copies of a game, get in touch with Judas or one of the other blues first and see if they'll consider putting someone on code-splitting duty for whatever you're planning.
Be reasonable. It's an arduous process and there has to be financial incentive for GOG to set someone to do that, so unless you're going to be saving them at least several dozen transaction fees (a few dozen cents per) don't bother asking - it's cost-prohibitive for them to do it. Writing a script to automate purchase field fill-in, though? That works.
