Is there a way to get snprintf to resume at the discarded characters?

For reasons beyond the scope of this question, assume I have a pre-allocated set of discontinuous memory buffers. I want to be able to print a formatted string into as many buffers as it takes to hold all the characters. I don't want to dynamically allocate a buffer large enough to hold the generated string.

Is there any way to get snprintf to "resume" on the first discarded character? Or a way to get that effect, without reimplementing the whole format parsing code from the stdlib?

Conceptually:

int nwritten = snprintf(message_buf[nextbuf++], MAX_MSG_LEN, fmt_string, var1, var2);
while (nwritten > MAX_MSG_LEN) {
   already_written += MAX_MSG_LEN;
   //It didn't fit in one buffer, write any remaining characters to the next buffer.
   nwritten = snprintf_REMAINDER(message_buf[nextbuf++], already_written, MAX_MSG_LEN,
                                 fmt_string, var1, var2);
}

With that code, these inputs

 MAX_MSG_LEN = 16;
 fmt_string = "%s: %.2f";
 char* var1 = "percent complete";
 float var2 = 45.6;
 char msgbuf[N][MAX_MSG_LEN];
 nextbuf = already_written = 0;

should result in
msgbuf[0] containing "percent complet" and
msgbuf[1] containing "e: 45.06"

How do I implement snprintf_REMAINDER ?
