Batch apex "Attempted to schedule too many concurrent batch jobs in this org" when importing records

I have a trigger that populates a number of lookup fields when an item is inserted into salesforce.  That trigger calls a class that runs the logic in batch apex.  The problem I have is that when we import more than 1000 records using dataloader.io it imports them in sets of 200 records each.  The end result is that I get an error that says that I have "Attempted to schedule too many concurrent batch jobs in this org".  Is there any way to get around this?
