It isn't possible to go from initial billet to final size in one draw.My vendors have required many draws...for supers, they start with about a foot wide billet, and lots and lots of progressive dies...and for silver and copper, same thing...they just start with a smaller billet..
Ribbons? When I have them made, they go through multiple squeezes..
And even then, they require a lubricant.
It would be silly for a vendor to re-spool in between die sizes..
