In your sketch you just take the first 300 channels and output on pin x, then take the next 300 channels and output on pin y, etc
But...at some point you will overrun the capability of the serial port to support all the channels and the speed of the arduino to get the bytes and output the data. But you can just keep increasing the number until you run out of steam.
