This is correct.  The first PIC has absolutely no room to transmit any
additional data.  However, even the 2nd PIC would require some time delay to
transmit the information via parallel, and this might not be acceptable.
I'd like to keep my resolution (sampling rate) as fine as possible.

Still in need of suggestions,
