Hi,

I would suggest you to go with call activiti ( I guess this is what you meant by multi instance). The problem in this use case if you use a sub process(sub task - sub process) is that the process variables gets overwritten every time a different user/reviewer performs an action.

I would use a multi-instance task for this, as you can model this properly.
With a subtask, you probably need a lot of manual work. Of course, if it's only for one time, it's fine to do so.
