This post from DanielW (Epic’s engineer, responsible for GI solver/lightmass in UE4) might explain the “problem” you have.

Sorry to bump this post, but I just found another explanation from DanielW in this post in Content Creation forum.

This is his post:

What happens a lot of time is that there aren’t enough tasks (separate components) to go around. If you have 4 machines to distribute to, and each has 8 cores, the scene needs to have approximately 4 * 8 * 4 components to actually use all those cores. Only separate components can be sent to different machines.

I think once a slave computer finishes processing the lightmaps assigned to it, it’s not able to pick a new job and continue to work further… I think I’ve read that somewhere

That’s not the case, agents will continue requesting tasks until there are no more to distribute.
