manually craft large amounts of items one at a time?

not sure if this is a help request or a suggestion
ok, lets say I want to manually craft 5 belts. this is pretty easy to do by clicking 5 times on the belt icon and it will create 5 belts one by one.
Now lets say I want to manually craft 200 belts and I only have iron plates, no intermediates.
I ctrl click to create all those belts. but now I have to wait for intermediates (iron gear wheels) to finish crafting before I can place any belts.
I dont want to click many many times on the belt icon to craft them one by one. lets say I want to place something like 40 of them asap and the rest later when need be.
is there another way to do this (lets assume I dont have automation researched yet.)?
same kind of situations apply to other kinds of crafting too but early game belts are the least possible to automate nicely right away. (no electricity, I want belts from coal to iron and copper)
