No.  Learning all at once is no better or worse than learning in small
chunks.  When you learn a ton of messages, it really just goes through
them one-by-one anyway.

However, I would recommend you tell it to learn *everything* in your
spam folder as spam, not just the ones that you manually move there.

(With this is mind, it may be more efficient to move the messages
yourself and learn the entire mailbox all at once just before you
clean it, rather than learning before/during the move.)
