Yes.
Create a number range (see the Range article on my site, subheading How
to create a range of numbers?).
Create a query based on your parcel table; add the range table/query but
do not join. Instead, apply a criteria: parcel>theNumber (the latter
being the numerical field name of my range object)
The query will produce as many records for one shipment as you have
indicated in parcel.
