usb to serial devices are known for sending data in "chunks", that's the
way the devices work (cheap, tiny, 8bit microcontrollers in the device)
and they break things up like this all the time.

If this is an issue, I suggest buying a high-cost usb to serial device
that has a real uart in them and can handle high data rates at constant
speeds. The I/O devices (now made by digi) do this, and I think a
number of keyspan devices also work well, but it's been a long time
since I tested them.

good luck,
